Things you can do with sausages…
We’re absolutely loving the new apfelperlwein (i.e. sparkling apfelwein) from APFELWEINKONTOR. With 4% alcohol, and with the addition of just the slightest effervescence, it works perfectly as an aperitif, with a light meal, with desert, or just on its own with friends.
We are absolutely certain this will be a huge hit in Australia this coming spring and summer. ;-)
Well, it’s finally here. I finally had time—and was able to get a judging team together to help review ciders—to put together a rating website. And the result is: HardCider Reviews.
What I want to do with it is have a place where there are reviews and ratings from the HardCider judging team, but also have a place where the public can rate ciders/perries. And people can send in their own cider reviews as well.
There’s no way that our team can rate all the ciders all over the world, so little by little I’m hoping that people all over the world will send in reviews and ratings. This way we can slowly (or quickly depending on you, the public) build a good database of cider and what we think of it.
I have tried to make it so that people can search either by type of cider or by a category. The categories are:
- New cider drinker – slightly sweet & smooth
- Great drink to enjoy sipping – light, balanced, smooth
- Cider drinker first exploring new flavors
- Experienced Cider drinker exploring new flavors
- Fans of sour & bitter
- Flavor bomb explorer
I hope you all enjoy the new site. If you have any comments that you think could improve the site, please let me know!

Nothing better: a hot Melbourne afternoon, barbecued pork ribs, and apfelwein…!
Thanks to all the guys at Prince Wine Shop for putting on the hugely successful apfelwein tasting and for providing the ribs.
