Remarkable changes in terms of alcohol consumption have taken place in Poland in the recent years. These changes refer not only to the amount of the alcohol consumed but also to the structure of the alcohol beverages. Cider is one of beverages whose production and consumption has increased remarkably. The objective of this study is to present some selected aspects of manufacturing as well as the factors determining the quality of cider. Attention has been drawn to the economic conditions of cider production in Poland. The present studies have shown that the further increase of cider production depends on the development of orchards of apple trees suitable for cider production and on the legal regulations. Reduction of excise tax on cider as a drink made of apple juice of 5% alcohol content, general community action supporting the consumption of Polish apples in 2014 as well as the change in Polish people’s preferences and choosing weaker alcohols, have caused a rise in interest among cider manufacturers and consumers.
