📜 History

Apfelwein (apple wine) has been produced in the Frankfurt region since the 16th century, traditionally served in a distinctive blue-gray stoneware pitcher called a Bembel. The spritz version emerged as a lighter alternative, particularly popular during warm weather in Sachsenhausen's famous apple wine taverns.
