How do you pronounce it?
/peri/
Did you know?
- While perry is a loanword, the Spanish word sidra actually comes from the Latin sicera, which referred to a generic mixture of date wine and honey.
- In Spain, the act of pouring sidra from a height to aerate it is a celebrated ritual, which is also applied to sidra de pera when served traditionally.
- Unlike English, where 'cider' can be sweet and non-alcoholic, a Spanish speaker saying sidra de pera almost always refers to a fermented, alcoholic beverage.
