==Naming controversy== '''Pear cider''' has been used as an alternative name for alcoholic drinks containing pear juice, in preference to the term perry.<ref name=morningadvertiser>{{cite web| url=http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/news.ma/article/60535 | date=24 April 2008 | author=Huddleston, Nigel | access-date=1 May 2009 |title=Pear Perception | publisher=Morning Advertiser}}</ref> The term has been dated to 1995, when [[Brothers Cider]] found that nobody at [[Glastonbury Festival]] understood what perry was; they began telling customers that it was 'like cider, but made from pears'.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2009-08-28 |title=From perry to pear cider |language=en-GB |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8225493.stm |access-date=2022-06-30}}</ref> In the UK the new name has caused controversy. The [[Campaign for Real Ale]] (CAMRA) defines perry and pear cider as different drinks, stating that 'pear cider' as made by the large industrial cidermakers is a pear-flavoured drink, or more specifically a cider-style drink flavoured with pear concentrate, whereas 'perry' should be made by traditional methods from perry pears only.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.camra.org.uk/ciderfaq|title=FAQs|publisher=CAMRA|access-date=25 July 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921143143/http://www.camra.org.uk/ciderfaq|archive-date=21 September 2013}}</ref> The National Association of Cider Makers maintain that the terms perry and pear cider are interchangeable, and its rules specify that perry or pear cider may contain no more than 25% apple juice.<ref name="nacm">''Pear cider ruling gives perry a timely boost'', ''[[The Grocer]]'', 19-05-2007</ref><ref name="morningadvertiser" /><ref name="nacm2">{{Cite web |url=http://www.cideruk.com/cider_market/code_of_practice |title=NACM Code of Practice |access-date=9 December 2009 |archive-date=6 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100406040257/http://cideruk.com/cider_market/code_of_practice |url-status=dead }}</ref>
