Apple Juice

[jack]

I've really only drank two sorts of apple juice. Juice that comes in cartons like typical orange juice and might be described as standard. And Coton Orchard (Cox's?) apple juice as supplied from Trinity College, which is really wonderful. The question is, does anyone regularly drink nice apple juice and if so which? I am completely ignorant of whether Coton Apple Juice is typical for nice apple juice, or particularly good.

Of course, I still have fond memories of it from Trinity, and like living within five miles of an orchard, so would like to visit out there one day when I'm cycling anyway.

I find pressed > 'from concentrate', and really fresh > pasteurised > preverved. After that it's a matter of the apple variety, and for that each has their own prefered flavour, sweetness and sharpness.

If you have an easy supply of nice fruit, a big press costs £15-20 to hire for a day. Last summer we made about 10 gallons of perry and some damson wine :)

Ah, cool, that's fascinating. However, I don't think I have the oomph for make your own at all, at the moment it's just something I'd like at least sometimes .
