American Colonial Sparkling Cider
Apple cider was a flourishing industry in Europe even before America was discovered. Early 17th century European settlers in the U.S. brought apple seeds with them and began planting orchards. The colonists used their apples to make cider, just as they had done in the Old World. Soon Colonial cider became important as both an agricultural commodity and as a means of exchange.
