From the Introduction…
Until about 1990 there were very few domestic ciders commercially available. For the most part, the only imported ciders available commercially in the United States were from the United Kingdom and France, two regions that have been producing cider for many centuries. The current cider market consists of dozens of commercially produced domestic ciders, and more are popping up every day. The styles and methods of production today are as numerous as the apple varieties themselves…
This surge of interest in cider has created new opportunities for traditional apple growers as well as for entrepreneurs. The wonderful book you are holding now contains all the information necessary to make whatever style cider you choose, either sweet or hard. Enjoy your work and its results and remember, cidermaking is not an exact science - it is an art.
—John Vittori
