Available to purchase in 330ml and 500ml bottles, it’s unrivalled taste is amplified through its traditional serve of a wedge of lemon in the neck. It’s now also available in a convenient 10x440ml fridge pack for those summer BBQ, party occasions.
The 6th largest cider in the world, Savanna has been growing in popularity across the UK since it was first made available in 2002. Originally known and loved by South Africans who saw it as a link to home, the UK is now Savanna’s third largest market.
With a renewed focus on growing its presence in the UK, Savanna has invested over £1 million in marketing activity in 2017/18.
