What is Cider?

Simply put, Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from apples.

Cider, Cidre, Sidra, Apfelwein, Suurremost or Viez. No matter what the word in whatever part of the world. It all comes down to the fermentation of the humble apple.

The difference in the tastes comes down to a variety of factors, including the apples used, the type of yeast used for fermentation, the length of fermentation or the blend with fresh juice, a fine art of balancing acidity, sweetness and tannins.
