Cider

[Debbie]

Having just finished my last bottel of imported Bretagne Cidre I was wondering if any one has found any good local made cider in the North Island. Auckland area even better but if further afield then it's a good excuse for a road trip.
I do miss France being so close.

Not yet, but would love to have some real proper cider, if there is any to be had!

I love cider, and do drink the supermarket stuff on occasion, but the selection is pretty poor.

Any magners lovers will be pleased to here that it has hit Oz - so fingers crossed will be here soon.

I fancy a go at making cider, and as apples are abundant in NZ I may just take the plunge one day.....

Let me know, StevieD, and I could give you some pointers, as long as you have access to a brew store! Hubby and I make Cider and Mead, and Cider is very easy!

I was meaning to post about Cider myself soon, as i only drink cider when in pubs etc here and was wondering if it was readily availble in NZ bars etc?

Or will i (god forbid) have to change my tipple
