WINNER OF GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARD 2023: DRINKS CATEGORYLonglisted for the André Simon Award for Drink Books for 2022Real cider, craft cider, farm cider, artisan cider: Whatever you wish to call it, at its best, cider is made and should be enjoyed like a fine wine, with all of the sophistication but less of the pretentiousness. Just as there are many volumes devoted to the great wine regions of the world, we now need a ‘cider appreciation’ manual to fully understand and delve into the rich culture of cider and perry. Cider Planet is that book and Claude Jolicoeur is our expert guide.In Cider Planet, Claude Jolicoeur – a cider expert, a passionate cider maker, and author of the internationally-acclaimed New Cider Maker’s Handbook – takes readers to the world’s greatest cider regions, providing a guided tour and a deep understanding and appreciation for how this ‘Prince of Beverages’ is made. Describing orchard practices and specific apple varieties used in different countries, he reveals the long and proud history of the world’s oldest ciderlands. He also profiles different cider styles and rituals and learns from some of the most knowledgeable producers and local cider experts in each country.Cider, though, is no longer just a traditional European drink. In recent years it has caught on in other parts of the globe and Jolicoeur talks about these new and emerging regions, which are building upon the old traditions and creating new ones of their own. Jolicoeur also explores the most revered areas for making pear cider or ‘perry’, and he even transports readers to Kazakhstan, famous as the ‘birthplace of the domestic apple’.

Recensioner i media

"Claude’s unique involvement with the international craft cider scene makes him the perfect guide for the rest of us. He takes a deep look at the way that traditional and industrial cider processes have come to differ as much as they do, and he explores the distinct histories of ciders and perries in different countries and the way in which their fruit and climate have influenced their drinks. Along the way, he introduces us to some exceptional cider making personalities worldwide. In the light of the huge revival of interest in craft cider and its differentiation from the mainstream, this book is both timely and fascinating."—Andrew Lea, author of Craft Cider Making
