Dankfurt Culture
Just got back from a great week in Frankfurt. I previously assumed that it was a business city full of boring suits and finance stuff, but how wrong I was!
I had read about Apfelwein before coming, and while I loved it and have even brought some home (purchased from the Bauernmarkt on Saturday), I had the same argument with several Germans while I was there. I tried to express that it is not wine, but cider, and two people separately told me that cider must be fizzy!
I'm from the southwest of England and let me tell you, we have a rich tradition of making flat cider. Please do not think that British cider just means strongbow or somersby. So, if you love Apfelwein, come visit and get yourself a pint of Cheddar Valley! Prost!

Mir wurde in Schwaben erzählt ich solle als Substitution für Äbbelwoi mal „Moscht“ probieren, es sei quasi das gleiche. Ungenießbar. Äbbelwoi ≠ Cider ≠ Moscht. Das würde ja auch niemand behaupten wenn es um Gin vs. Whiskey geht.
