some sort of cryptic reference to Pan. Eeee Vaaaa Ooooo...but then i

Oh im sure Harrods will have a version of it, spiced wine is a European
custom and i would be surprised if any particular major food supplier in
Britain did not carry some version of it.

Over here we have a product, a "Tea" called "Constant Comment" that is a
cinnamon based tea and very good when made with hot cider.

You might also consider looking at the concept of "Mulled wine" for
inspiration on spicing your cider. Or look for old English "punch"
recipes.
