Actually, I think cider is really juice from pressed apples, while "apple
juice" is clear, filtered, sweetened, apple-tasting juice drink beverage
material that is probably half sugar water. Even the ones that claim "100%
juice" are often made largely from grape juice which is cheaper but still
technically juice.
"Hard cider" that's sold in 6-packs in US stores is usually a filtered malt
beverage with apple flavor. If you want to prove me wrong, please go to
Madison, Indiana for some Gale's Hard Cider from the Thomas Family Winery.
Now, that's the real thing.
