I used to do it when i grew my own apples but it was tricky gettig it before
it turned to cider vinegar. I switched to red wine A) because someone told
me it prevents cancer and B) 3 litres a night over a period of about 15
years gave me a cider bell-really bothered me when i reached the same weight
i was the day i gave birth to my son!. Within 3 months of limiting myself to
no more than one bottle of red wine a night I'm happily back to flat belly
status and I think the sugar content  of my blood is a healthier level too.
Still have the occasional pint of old rosie whenever i get the chance, but
its allmost unheard of north of the border, worse luck, though scrumpy jack
you can now buy in plastic bottles-it's nothing like the real scrumpy, which
is foul muck anyway.
