Apfelwein (Germany, ''apple wine''), or Most (Austria, Switzerland, South Germany, ''must'') are German words for cider. It is mainly made from eating apples or cooking apples, such as Granny Smith or Bramley, respectively. It has an alcohol content of 4.8%–7% and a tart, sour taste. Apfelwein is also regionally known as ''Ebbelwoi'', ''Äppler'', ''Stöffsche'', ''Apfelmost'' (apple must), ''Viez'' (from Latin ''vice'', the second or substitute wine), and ''saurer Most'' (sour must). The name ''Äppler'', mainly used by large producers, is generally not used in restaurants or by smaller manufacturers who instead call the beverage ''Schoppen'' or ''Schoppe'', which refers to the measure of the glass. In the Frankfurt area, berries from the service tree (''Sorbus domestica''), are added in bags to increase astringency, this specific type of Apfelwein is called ''Speierling''. ==Production== (詳細はSpeierling'' (''Sorbus domestica'') or ''Speyerling'', an endangered species that is easily confused with the wild apple. Apfelwein is mainly produced and consumed in Hesse (where it is the state beverage), particularly in the Frankfurt, Wetterau and Odenwald areas. It is also found in ''Moselfranken'', Merzig (Saarland) and the Trier area; as well as the lower Saar area and the region bordering on Luxembourg. In these regions there are several large producers as well as numerous small, private producers who use traditional recipes. Some of the most famous restaurants where Apfelwein is served are in Sachsenhausen (Frankfurt am Main). In some of these regions there are regular cider competitions and fairs, in which the small, private producers participate. Cider songs are composed and sung at these events. The Merzig region crowns a "''Viez'' Queen", and the lower Saar area a "''Viez'' King". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apfelwein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
