Talking about cider

As with any sensory pleasure, be it food, drink or music there is a whole language of terms and references that come with enjoying cider. At first glance, hearing them down the pub or at a tasting, you could be forgiven for finding them a little intimidating.
James Finch, AKA the Cider Critic, has put together this introductory guide to some of the basic words and details that you can use to unlock a more informed cider and perry drinking experience. You can explore these tools in your own time, on any device, helping you to spend your money more wisely and to advocate for the cause of cider and perry makers using your new found knowledge.

Cider writer, educator and reviewer James Finch is the founder of the Cider Review where he champions ‘the passion and tradition of the fantastic world of cider and perry’ and he can also be found by his YouTube channel.
