Excerpt: Cider (pronounced -dr) is a fermented beverage made from apple juice. Cider varies in alcohol content from 2% abv to 8.5% abv or more in traditional English ciders. In some regions, such as Germany and America, cider may be termed "apple wine". Due to tax legislation in America, a cider became classed as an apple wine when sugar or extra fruit was added and a secondary fermentation increased the strength. Although cider can be made from any variety of apple, certain cultivars are known as cider apples. Cider is popular in the United Kingdom, especially in South West England and East Anglia.
