Why is the cider poured?

Perhaps the most peculiar characteristic of this drink that is obtained from the fermentation of apple juice is the way it is served: thrown from on high. In this way, when the liquid hits the glass, small bubbles of carbon dioxide are produced that carry the aroma of the cider. Precisely, the glass has a wide shape so that the nose is inserted inside it and the aroma of this drink can be appreciated. According to the most seasoned consumers, once the bubbles have disappeared, it is not distinguished so well, which explains that the culines – the amount that is added each time a person drinks – must be consumed in a single swallow , right after to be served. The last remains are used to clean the part of the container where the lips are placed, since the glass is usually shared.
