Although cider starts off as fruit juice which is quite sweet, it’s surprising how dry it will be after the fermenting process. That is why sweetness needs to be added back in with dextrose. This brings it’s sweetness rating to a 0-1 versus the -2 it might be without it. Plus, the added sweetness brings out the fruit flavour, in much the same way as salt brings out the flavour of food.
