For a drink to qualify as cider in the U.K it used to be that it only needed to contain 5% juice! Eventually all the tramp juice had to be reformulated to include the minimum of 35% to keep within the favourable tax band. Makes you wonder what a lot of the other content is besides water as there is no obligation to put the ingredients on the bottle!

I don't want more regulation, I just want less shittiness

Very true, its regulated because it gets the favourable tax rate. In reality it should have no tax rate so no need to have minimum juice content to meet that and its stifles creativity as the rules are quite rigid. Less shiftiness is the way.
