This is a slightly different type of episode where I am talking with Alistair Morrell from Cider is Wine, where he is going to convince us of just that. So much of the bad reputation is the fact that many ciders you have tried are made from fruit concentrate. Well Alistair, who has spent his whole career making wine, selling wine, working with wine, is going to explain why he has now got so excited for ciders, perrys and fruit wines. Get ready to see how the cider processes compare to wine... spoiler alert: they are very similar!
