I lived in the UK for over a decade and really miss the proper British cider, made with the right kind of apple and without added crap.

Were I am now (Portugal) cider is basically an alchopop made of a little bit of fermented apple juice, plain apple juice, water and sugar - so sweet with a bit of alcohol - that that's including all the international brands like Strongbow (which in their local version are the same crap alcoholic fruit juice as the rest).

Only good cider I can buy around here is french organic cider (the cider from the Asturias in Spain is also the proper stuff, but you can't really find it here).
