Talk:Apfelwein

message: Is this Viez route really called rue de cidre? Why? The correct French would be route du cidre, but why does it have a French name at all? Andrew Dalby 18:02, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Viez route

message: I fixed some basic typos and some tone that struck me as off. I also changed wording where, as far as myself and a dictionary were aware, the wrong word (presumably something lost in translation from German?) was used. This is why I re-wrote (see a diff)
the bit about a serrated glass being used -- "examination" didn't seem to fit.
I've left alone some points I'm unclear with, as admittedly neither Apfelwein nor the stuff of Germany is my forte.
Particularly, the bit about the stoneware and glasses -- "blue sample", et al. It's a good article, but someone
who knows more about the subject should definately take a look. Zelse81 00:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: why is this article separate from cider? there is nothing in the article to indicate a pressing need for it to be different. in fact, the opening line seems to indicate that they are two different words for the same thing. Whateley23 04:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cider is not usually fizzy. Real cider is not. The French produce a cider by a method which includes a natural carbonation. Most commercial ciders have forced carbonation - that is the fizz is added after the cider is made. Cider has a variety of tastes. I have tasted some German ciders and they are similar to English real cider. SilkTork ✔Tea time 18:23, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Isn't This Another Name For Cider? 

message: The article only says "a German variant of cider made out of apples" (that last part is actually implied, isn't it). The only recipe mentioned - and labelled "typical" - is that of an American homebrewer who adds dextrose and wine yeast. Traditional Apfelwein making doesn't involve either of these (and takes three to four months, not one). This basically comes down to the article not really saying what Apfelwein is - which I would have thought to be its main purpose. I think that's why especially the non-German/non-Hessian readers keep asking how it's different to cider. Danny.adair (talk) 00:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  How Apfelwein is made 

message: I strongly oppose the recent move to "Cider in Germany" and suggest to move the article back to "Apfelwein". The current title is almost OR as Apfelwein is not merely the German name for cider, as anyone who has tasted both can confirm.--Coatilex (talk) 16:23, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Apfelwein is the German word for cider. I have put in two sources for that statement to reassure people. SilkTork ✔Tea time 17:55, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

text: As regards the taste, I have tasted some German ciders and they are similar to English real cider, though some are similar to Basque cider, and others are similar to sweet commercial ciders. SilkTork ✔Tea time 18:25, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you aware that stuff sold in Germany as cider is called cider specifically to distinguish it from Apfelwein??--Coatilex (talk) 15:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

text: As a German from Frankfurt who's been making Ebbelwoi for years (btw no need to add yeast or sugar) I second this whole-heartedly. In Germany "Cider" (more often the French term "Cidre" is used) refers to a related beverage that usually has much more carbonic acid. Maybe you bought something in Germany that was sold to you as "Cider"? I have tasted English and New Zealand "Cider" and to me it does not taste similar. I believe that the majority of Germans would disagree that Apfelwein is the German word for Cider. I note SilkTork's sources are not German. Danny.adair (talk) 11:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

text: Also please compare http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apfelwein with http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cidre - don't you find it odd that they are both relatively long articles in their own right? The German speaking editors seem to agree they are different things... Danny.adair (talk) 11:30, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

text:  Both the german wikipedia and the Duden distinguish Apfelwein and Cider/Cidre, so this american source from 1903 may not be that reliable. Apfelwine is never sparkling and has a distinct sour taste while most ciders are sparkling (according to both Merriam-Webster and the english wikipedia, even if SilkTork does not agree with this) and would be Apfelsekt, Apfelschaumwein or Apfelperlwein in German, although they are usually sold as cidre or cider, even when produced in germany. 82.113.106.46 (talk) 23:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

text: Cider is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from fruit juice, most commonly and traditionally apple juice. Apfelwein is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from apple juice. That doesn't make them the same. The Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection publishes a set of guidelines regarding "wine-like and sparkling wine-like beverages" (http://www.bmelv.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/Ernaehrung/Lebensmittelbuch/LeitsaetzeWeinaehnlicheGetraenke.pdf?__blob=publicationFile) which distinguishes between Apfelwein, Most, Apfel-Cidre, Apfeltischwein, Apfeldessertwein, Apfelperlwein and Apfelschaumwein, with respect to the use vs. omission of sugar, water, partial vs. full fermentation, alcohol level and pressure of carbonic acid. The English wikipedia article for Cider says: "If the cider is to be bottled, usually some extra sugar is added for sparkle." Never ever ever would this be done to Apfelwein. This wikipedia article "Cider in Germany" says "It has an alcohol content of 5.5%–7% and a tart, sour taste." (btw note the official specs just saying "at least 5%", the 7% just happens to be a natural boundary when no sugar is added). Why is there no Apfelwein with 2% alcohol? Why does the English article on Cider not mention Cider as having a "tart, sour taste", why does only the "German name for Cider" taste like this and not sweet? In short, why would Germans call Cider Apfelwein when it is "the same just... not"? Danny.adair (talk) 04:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

message: As noted by User:FerrousCathode, "The examples are from a variety of producers, so it clearly does not fall under WP:PROMOTION but instead provides illustrative examples". I think the IP who has blanked this section four times is guilty of disruptive editing. jmcw (talk) 21:10, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really see the point in these "illustrative examples" to be honest, and would tend to agree with the IP that a section of "commercial varieties" adds little to the article. --Six words (talk) 08:58, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commercial Varieties
