What like Cidre

Funnily enough I love the stuff! Am getting addicted to supping one nightly whilst watching the Euro footy!

Is it as disgusting as that chemical cocktail called Magners?

Ingredients List: Cider, sugar, malic acid, suphites, colours, lightly carbonated.​

If you want proper cider, come down to Somerset.

The locals call it scrumpy and sell it clandestine!

Strangely I used to hate cider. Magners is ok, bullmers not so good. As long as the local Tesco's keep it on special offer - I ain't complaining!

you still do then Magners is not cider. westons or thatchers at a push but the best by far is Healeys from cornwall

 

[Peteaud]

Thatchers is ok.

Prefer Perrys but then the farms just down the road from me.

TBF its not the makers its the dumbass consumers beleiving a chemical cocktail is cider.

Magners is to cider as Carling is to beer

and it would need to be over 10% to be classed as apple wine- different duty rates i beleive .

This is getting slightly o/t and needs to be debated on the cafe section if it is to continue.

In my defence, I admit to being a passing opportunist at the local extra and with a new arrival to look after ; with football and cycling on the box I couldnt care much to whatever calibre beverage one should conform to. The local corner shop sells white lightening, the supermarkets have their own brand cheap stuff which to me is more of a basis for you to soap box from.

Drinking a Stella 'Cidré' is hardly a means to get gunned down for as some folk claim it to be not purist enough or must be flat containing bits and direct from the south west...

I thought snobbery on the bikes was bad!

 

[subaqua]

just stating the facts . surprising how many myths there are that people who should know better keep perpetuating

 

[byegad]

Just punch the puncher back.

Now for a bad spell of wheatha!
