Unlucky ones will find themselves smothered in toffee, with a stick shoved unceremoniously up the calyx – others may be forced to bob about in a bucket of water, awaiting small children to bite them free from their watery graves. Only the lucky ones get to be picked, pressed and fermented into delicious, mouth-puckering booze. </p> <p>British Ciders can be broadly categorised into two distinct styles, which are determined by the apples used. West Country ciders are predominantly made from cider apples, which produce a tannin rich, low acid cider, whilst the eastern counties’ style is crisp and sharp tasting, due to the predominance of eating and cooking apples thrown in the mix.</p> <p>Here’s our pick of the best British bottles, and there is more information on everything apple-related on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161121104242/http://twothirstygardeners.co.uk/" target="_blank">Two Thirsty Gardeners blog</a>, a project combining our two passions: booze and gardening. </p> <p>1. <strong>Handmade Cider, White Label, 4.8%:</strong> £32.40 for 12x500ml bottles, bristolcidershop.co.uk </p> <p><em>Chippenham, Wiltshire</em></p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4284761:sdl_editor_representation --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161121104242im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/03/09/13/handmade.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="handmade.jpg" title="handmade.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4284761 --></div></div> <p>With each apple lovingly chosen for pressing by his own juice-stained hands, champion cider maker Denis France won gold for his Normandy-style cider at this year’s prestigious Bath & West Cider competition.
