wine or cider?

[Triker]

I'm confused!

I have been looking for an apple wine recipe and eventually I found a great one on this site by Moley :thumb:

However during my search I found a vast variation in apple juice/ water content. One recipe was pure apple juice! Isn't that cider and not wine?

So when does apple wine become cider?

HM Revenue say it stops being cider when it passes 8.5%ABV
