Apfelwein (; ), or Viez (, Moselfranken, Saarland, Trier; ) or Most (, Austria, Switzerland, South Germany; ) are German words for cider. German ciders are made from various kinds of sour tasting apples (such as "Bohnapfel") and are distinguished by an alcohol content of 4.8–7.0% alongside a tart, sour taste.
Apfelwein is also regionally known as Ebbelwoi, Stöffsche, Apfelmost (apple must), Viez (from Latin vice, the second or substitute wine), and saurer Most (sour must, Süßmost or sweet must is essentially apple juice). Instead of the name Apfelwein, restaurants and smaller manufacturers may instead call the beverage Schoppen or Schoppe, which actually refers to the measure of the glass.
