SWEET CIDER Meaning and
Definition
-
Sweet cider is a beverage made from the fermented juice of apples, characterized by its natural sweetness and lack of alcohol content. It is a non-alcoholic version of apple cider, often consumed by individuals who prefer a milder and sweeter flavor.
This type of cider is typically produced by crushing and pressing fresh apples to extract their juices. The liquid is then left to ferment naturally, which allows the sugars in the apples to turn into alcohol. However, sweet cider undergoes a different process where fermentation is intentionally halted before the sugars fully convert to alcohol. This prevents the cider from becoming alcoholic, resulting in a naturally sweet and slightly tangy beverage.
The taste of sweet cider is predominantly influenced by the variety of apples used during production. It possesses a refreshing, fruity flavor with a crisp and often slightly tart undertone. It can be served chilled, over ice or warmed as a cozy beverage during colder months. Sweet cider is often enjoyed on its own or paired with traditional fall treats such as apple pie, caramel apples, or donuts.
Due to its non-alcoholic nature, sweet cider is popular among a wide range of consumers, including children, teetotalers, and individuals who prefer to avoid alcohol. It offers the sensory experience of apple cider without the intoxicating effects, making it a versatile and enjoyable beverage option for various occasions.

Etymology of SWEET CIDER
The word "sweet" in "sweet cider" comes from the Old English word "swēte", which means "having a pleasant taste or flavor". The term "cider" can be traced back to the Old French word "sidre", derived from the Latin word "sicera". This Latin term, in turn, was derived from the Greek word "sikera", which referred to a sweet alcoholic drink made from fermented fruits, often apple. Over time, "cider" became associated specifically with the fermented apple drink, while "sweet cider" came to refer to unfermented, non-alcoholic apple juice.
