I usually drink cider when I am there. You can get good cider everywhere in Brittain but in Holland you get only bad sweet stuff or you have to buy it in special shops that sell UK products.
I believe it is called hard cider in some countries and what they call cider is just apple juice.
Dina:
I am not sure. We say "Sidra" for the alcoholic beverage but it is not common to drink it outside of the Holiday season. It is very associated to Christmas and New Year. It is also used in Weddings and other celebrations, mainly as a cheaper alternative to champagne. So, it is very unusual to have sidra on a bar, as an ordinary drink.

I know they make sidra in spain but I never tasted it. Brittish cider is different from french cider, it is more in the style of beer and it is drunk like beer often from tap in pubs while the french ciders I tasted where more like weak apple wine with bubbles. A cheaper alcohol free version with bubbels is sometimes used for children so they have their own "champaign" for the beginning of the new year.
Dina:
Yes, we also have Sidra sin alcohol (alcohol-free) for that purpose. As a child, I loved it. I don't know about French cider, but I'd say is probably more like our sidra then.
