Cider!

Bren,

Apple wine would be something like a very strong cider, probably fairly clear, alcohol content probably between 12 and 15%, usually still, but could be sparkling.

Anne,

Here in the SE USA, we have native crab apples, but we also have a native hawthorne that has been used to make preserves, jellies, wines ETC., for hundreds of years. The fruit is ripe in May, hence it's called a Mayhaw. The fruit is small, 1/2 inch to about 3/4 inch in diameter. The flesh of the fruit ranges in colour from white, and pale yellow to a dark pink, uniquely fragrant, and quite tart. It makes an incredible jelly. I made some sparkling cider from this a few years ago, and it was very tasty. But I would definitely change the recipe the next time I make it. Hopefully, I'll have a good enough crop this year, to try the new recipe and see how it turns out.

Awesome! Thanks, Destin_Scot.

I went to BevMo the other day and checked out ciders. OMG!! Some of them were nearly $10 per bottle!!!

Is it just me or is BevMo a little on the pricey side with all of their merchandise (not just cider)?
