Answer 1

Perry is not a widely used term, so they say pear cider so you know what kind of drink you are getting ie something with alcohol in it.

Answer 2

Isn't pear cider just called perry? I usually think that I prefer pear to apple but every time I try pear I remember that I wrongly hold it in quite high esteem. However, as there is some truly horrible apple cider out there, inevitably there are some pear ciders which are nicer than some apple ciders. So, generally I prefer apple but pear makes a welcome change from time to time.
