World Cider Day

Henry weetons herefordshire? I didnt realise it was 8.2% until it was too late either

White Lightning anyone?

Most 'ciders' in supermarkets are not 'real' cider.

Real cider is produced naturally from apples and should not be carbonated or pasteurised. It is made from pressed, and fermented apples. Nothing else.

The sweet fizzy stuff you can buy in supermarkets such as brands like Magners, Scrumpy Jack, Woodpecker, taunton, Strongbow have northing to do with real traditional cider. For example the ingredients listed on a can of Strongbow are: Fermented apple juice & glucose syrup, water, sugar, carbon dioxide, acid: E270, E330, antioxidant: E224 (sulphites).

Just saying, if it is World Cider Day.

Normandy where I live is the best place for cidre. Loads of home made stuff fore sale. Yummy

Didn't realise Magners and Bulmers were the same.

It's confused by the fact that there is an English Bulmers and an Irish Bulmers. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the English one but the pear one is ok. Magners however is lovely.

Pear Cider is like babycham

Nevertheless, carbonated alcoholic drinks are absorbed more quickly, and the science of carbonation holds the key. ... Carbonation increases pressure in the stomach, which helps to force alcohol into the bloodstream via the stomach lining

just saying theres method behind the madness

Method behind the Magners?

You always get people who talk a load of Bulmers.

I think I'll pass when it's World Creme de Menthe Frappe Day.
