Produktbeschreibung
In Cider Planet, Claude Jolicoeur a cider expert, a passionate cider maker, and author of the internationally-acclaimed New Cider Makers Handbook takes readers to the worlds 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 worlds 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.

In French, he has authored Du pommier au cidre (From Apple Tree to Cider) and collaborated to the collective work La transformation du cidre au Québec (Cider Processing in Quebec). A mechanical engineer and research scientist by profession, he started in the late 1980s making cider as a hobby.
