Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented apple juice. It is a popular drink in many countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and various regions in Europe.
The process of making cider typically involves crushing apples to extract their juice and then allowing the juice to ferment.
Cider can range in flavour from sweet to dry, depending on the type of apples used and the fermentation process. Some ciders are carbonated, while others are still (non-carbonated).
The alcohol content of cider can vary but is generally lower than that of wine or beer, typically ranging from 4% to 8% alcohol by volume.
Cider has a long history and is associated with various cultural traditions. It is often enjoyed during harvest festivals or as a refreshing drink during the warmer months. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in cider, leading to the production of a wide variety of flavours and styles, including fruit-infused ciders and artisanal craft ciders.
