Prost! Apfelwein is raised in a toast before consumption. Apple wine was that alternative, with production soon ri-
valling that of beer in the region. Frankfurt is located in the state of Hesse, where two-
thirds of Germany’s apples are produced. Terefore, it was only logical that apple wine would flourish. Tere are several varieties served, with Pur (pure), Sauergespritzt (mixed with mineral water), and Süßgespritzt (mixed with lemonade) op- tions available, though many purists will scoff at you if you go for the Süßgespritzt. Be warned!
What goes with apple wine?
One of the main dishes served with or in complement of apple wine is handkäse mit musik. It’s a sour milk cheese marinated with vinegar and onion. Frankfurt ‘green sauce’ is also a traditional accompaniment, comprised of seven local herbs (parsley, chives, chervil, borage, sorrel, garden cress, and salad burnet). Te dish is served cold, accompanied by rye bread, peeled boiled potatoes, grilled pork, sauerkraut or schnitzel.
Frankfurt’s grüne soße (green sauce), is a mix of yogurt and seven herbs, typically served with hard-boiled eggs and potatoes.
