Apfelwein, also known as Ebbelwoi, Äppler or Stöffsche, is a true regional icon in the FrankfurtRheinMain area and has even been recognised as part of the region’s cultural heritage. Made from fermented apple juice and sourced from local orchards, this traditional c***r is especially popular in and around Frankfurt. You’ll find it served in “Geripptes” glasses and poured from a traditional Bembel jug in cosy taverns, many of which make their own. Whether enjoyed neat or with sparkling water, Apfelwein is a must-try when visiting the region. Just don’t ask for it mixed with lemonade unless you want a few raised eyebrows.
