Core of the Problem: Defining Cider

January 23, 2011
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet; but when it comes to cider, a name’s regional meaning could determine whether the product gets regulated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
