In my 1st year at university (2001) when I was still finding my feet with alcohol, my Swedish friend Jesper raved about how much better Swedish Cider was compared to British Cider. At that time I'd only tried Strongbow, Red C and Woodpecker so when Jesper brought me a couple of bottles of Koppaberg I was impressed. Of course, not that i'm familiar with real ciders and perrys I'm less impressed.
