In Italy we call wine only the one made with grapes. The "wines" of any other fruit are called cider here.

Interesting. It's just the opposite in the US.

From what we've seen here, cider in Europe is fermented apple juice and unfermented it's just apple juice. In the US, apple juice and cider are the same thing, except that cider is unfiltered and has apple solids (pectin). The fermented version is called "hard cider". Any other fermented fruit is a wine.

It's a crazy mixed-up world.

In Europe cider can be also fermented pear juice or any other fruit juice except grapes at least in speaking languages (apart Germany because in German the word cider is translated with apfelwein and probably UK that has different rules). For example for Italian law wine is only what you call grapes wine and all the other are ciders (also because we make in particular grapes wine while "wines" of other fruit are not very popular except for some areas)

I really just wanted to let you know that on HBT the "cider" subforum is for discussion of fermenting apple juice

Even if you call it cider, the wine subforum would be a more appropriate place to discuss fermentation of non-apple fruit, just to avoid confusion and help you get better responses if you have questions.

Not trying to be offensive in any way.
Cheers

Yeah, but I think it's awesome that our forum has international membership, and it's cool to read the different perspectives and terminologies. For instance, when someone talks about "turbo cider" Americans assume they're making cider with turbo yeast. But I've learned that there's a Brit dude who has a you tube series where he teaches how to make quick cider with store bought juices and that's what he calls it. So when I see a question about turbo cider I first ask if the OP is in the UK.
