Alcohol in Normandy: Cider and Calvados

Production of alcohols from Beer to Wine and Champaign to strong alcohols gives goods subjects for collection:  harvesting of grapes or any other fruit for example, but also distillation or processing in the streets.  

As Honfleur and Normandy are among the favorite subjects of this website, the following postcards will concentrate on cider and calvados production.

Brewing of apples in the streets of cities and villages was a common scene a century ago, and many postcards show the production of cider and calvados in Normandy
