  Bulmers to take on Magners in a cider decider

The explosion in popularity of Magners pint-bottled cider in Britain has prompted the Irish company behind the drink to earmark ?80m (?55m) for investment in advertising and new production capacity as it plans to double its UK sales for the second consecutive year.
The move comes as Scottish & Newcastle, maker of Strongbow, announced it is to resurrect its Bulmers Original cider brand across Britain to defend its market leading position in the face of rapid gains by C&C, the maker of Magners. The move is particularly provocative as Bulmers Original is the name of C&C's leading Irish cider brand, though there is no connection between the companies.

High-profile, localised launches for Magners in Scotland and London have helped transform the image of cider in recent years. C&C's chief executive Maurice Pratt said it offered UK drinkers something new. "It's served from a pint bottle, over ice, rather than draught, as many UK ciders are. It is Irish; it is made with a higher percentage of fresh apple juice. And we emphasise the rural, the agricultural element."
C&C's UK cider sale volumes jumped 130% for the year to February 28, beating analysts' expectations. The company plans to spend ?50m doubling production capacity at its Clonmel plant in Tipperary. It will spend a further ?30m on advertising in the UK this year as it launches in more than 20 cities.

Magners was launched in 1999 as C&C's overseas version of its Bulmers brand. The Bulmers name outside Ireland belongs to Scottish & Newcastle after it acquired the UK market-leading Herefordshire cider maker HP Bulmer three years ago.

S&N will relaunch Bulmers Original this month. The brand was first sold in Britain in 1982 but was ditched except in Northern Ireland. The drink will be sold in a pint bottle with a label strikingly similar to those of C&C's Magners and Bulmers brands. In a press release, S&N said: "Bulmers Original will be positioned as a product best served over ice and aimed to attract an eclectic mix of new drinkers - both male and female - who value a heritage-based product."
