"Cider is becoming the next big thing, a drink to rival both beer and Champagne (too right ! tb) and one that is found both down muddy farm  tracks and on crisp, Michelin-starred menus.
Pete Brown and Bill Bradshaw, two of the planets greatest cider experts, take us on a voyage of cider discovery, introducing us to the people and places that define their art and craft of cider-making and cider-drinking.
A 'Cider Basics' section includes details on how cider is made, how to taste it and apple types. Profiles of key cider producers reveal the art of cider making in various terroirs.
Tasting notes from over 240 of the world's finest ciders, from Somerset to Seattle,  Cantabria to Canada.
This  is the complete story of cider, from fruit to fermenting, apple to aperitif."
