Is it easy to make your own cider? I'd love to do some.

I've tried Frosty Jack, didn't think it was too bad...

It's easier than making crystal meth, and less illegal.

I used to work on the booze counter at Kwik Save in Shrewsbury town centre. The tramps' drink of choice was British sherry other than when Frosty Jack was on special offer for a month or so. They all switched in that month then switched back again as soon as the offer ended. So next time you see a gentleman of the road try not to judge him too harshly. Instead respect him for his innate ability to calculate the alcohol per cash ratio that will result in optimum smashedness. Geniuses the lot of them.

Fortified wine. Does sherry have to come from Spain? Sherwood Cream was the brand of choice.

I wonder if I could make British Sherry. Perhaps you just have to take some Spanish stuff and make it sit a Citizenship test
