Cider glasses were made in England from 1630. In the Georgian period, the glasses reached a pinnacle of beauty with stems showing multiple air mercury or opaque twists. Cider glasses were always a minority but often the engraving was exquisite. Circa 1765 #cider #glasses #Georgian #drinking

If you transpose the word apples for grapes I doubt whether the eu would find a 50% juice content as an acceptable amount to be able to call the fermented result wine. Why the discrepancy?
My thoughts on the current proposal for an EU-wide definition of cider and related marketing legislation.
Editorial – EU cider definition creeping closer.
EU legislators are proposing a 50% minimum juice content for cider, sparking debate about quality and heritage. @barmas.bsky.social argues it is not enough.
