What can you substitute for apple cider?

I have substituted Apple juice for almost any recipe that calls for Apple cider. Cider tends to have more of a 'bite' to it because it is not filtered. It is usually darker and may change the visual asthetics of a recipe but it shouldn't alter the taste. In most states, there is no distinction between Apple cider and Apple juice, unless you are refering to an alcoholic version of cider in which case, maybe a dry white wine could be substituted.
