From their FAQ (https://www.somersby.com/en/faq, retrieved August 2019)
"So vegans, we’ve pretty much got you covered – the vast majority of our ciders can be considered to be made from vegan friendly ingredients. That is unless they contain carmine (found in Blackberry, Red Rhubarb, Sparkling Rosé and Sparkling Spritz). And hey, it’s easy to spot – the use of carmine (E120) is on the ingredient list in markets where the ingredient list is given."
