Wikipedia is your friend:

And here is a link to Possman's, one of the brands of Apfelwein that is actually exported..

That doesn't really answer my question. It doesn't show what is "German" about apfelwein other than the name... it still just seems like a cider recipe. I'm just trying to see why one would call something "apfelwein" instead of just cider. What are the defining characteristics?
