Is this the same as apple brandy ? Morwen - Talk 09:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure; I was working from de: --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 21:12, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Brandy contains 40-60% alcohol by volume, cider is more comparable to beer's alcohol content, and schnapps is usually around 40%. In Germany at least all three cannot contain any grain alcohol, only a fermented fruit (in the US we use the term schnapps much more loosely). --Laura Scudder | Talk 19:25, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

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)

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)

I have changed some more of the article to make it a bit more readable and there is not much more a copy-editor can do, so I have removed the tag. If you want more help on the article you need to do what Zelse81 suggests and put an expert tag on it. JenLouise 01:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Isn't This Another Name For Cider?

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)

Isn't Champagne just another name for sparkling wine (foam wine)? Why does champagne (wine) have it's own article then, if it's only a goddamn trademark? And well, not every cider can be considered Apfelwein, because Apfelwein indicates certain requirements for the beverage 85.180.164.111 19:57, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
