Apple Cider Day

Apple Cider Day is in the United States on November 18th and is a great way to enjoy a delicious drink made from apples. It’s especially cozy in the cold season, and who can refuse the unique taste of this natural drink?

History

Apple Cider Day has a very long history, dating back all the way to 3000 BC when it was first made in Britain. The apple variety used at the time gave it a bitter taste, but it was improved when farmers began cultivating fruits in 55 BC. By 1066, cider was famous around the world, especially in England. In the 19th century, the demand for cider was so great that farmers sold their holdings to growers who built businesses. In the 1980s, cider had a lower-class reputation, but in the 21st century, Magners, an Irish company, helped to revive it. Now, the brand offers various types of cider.
