Cider is fresh, uncooked juice from apples. Apple juice is cooked, bottled and shelf stable at room temp. Cider is not stable at room temp and only for a few weeks in the fridge.

Apple juice is yech and most commercial brands use corn syrup and apple flavoring despite being labelled 100% apple. (From a friend who worked as a food chemist) Apple cider you should buy form your local orchard in a couple of months when the apples are ripe. Right now you are drinking last years apples.
