Trendy drink cider – what you should know about this popular sparkling apple wine.
Sweet, tangy and simply delicious. Cider is becoming the absolute trend drink par excellence and impresses with its fruity notes. Cider has long since ceased to be a sickly sweet drink guaranteed to give you a headache and is now produced with the same dedication as sparkling wine.These two sparkling wines even have a lot in common, only the basic ingredient is different. Grapes are used for sparkling wine and apples for cider. Typical cider is refreshing and fruity, perfect for balmy summer evenings and a delicious and light alternative to long drinks at festivals and parties.
What exactly is cider?
More precisely, cider is produced by fermenting apple juice – the fermentation process can be controlled through the targeted use of yeast cultures to produce sweet, tart or dry varieties.In the production process, apples are pressed and the must is fermented under pressure in a closed tank. This is also the difference between cider and apple wine, as cider is sparkling and has a kind of carbon dioxide from fermentation, or this carbon dioxide is simply added during industrial production.
It is not only the fermentation process but also the type of apple used that gives cider its unique aroma. It is definitely worth trying the wide range available to find your favourite cider. Tart apple varieties with firm flesh are particularly suitable.
