The Romans are thought to have brought apples and cider making to France. However it was not until the Middle Ages when monasteries and abbey’s throughout Europe started making cider that it’s popularity truly expanded. Following the Norman invasion of England in 1066, cider production and popularity flourished in Britain.

Over the centuries the demand for cider waxed and waned throughout the globe. However, today the popularity of cider globally is on a strong upward trend and craft ciders are leading the market with innovative new varieties in Australia.
