First of all, as this is an international list, I want to mention the 
dual meaning of "apple cider".  In the United States, "cider" means 
unfiltered apple juice -- the cloudy, non-alcoholic product of pressing 
apples in a mill.  In Britain, and other parts of the world, "cider" 
means fermented apple juice -- an alcoholic drink generally called "hard 
cider" in the U.S.

Hard cider is certainly period.  I don't know if sweet (non-alcoholic) 
cider is period.
