History
Cider houses were once common. Because of changes in the taxation of cider in the early 1970s, and social changes, most cider houses now exist in name only. A few still exist in, for example, the West Country of the United Kingdom.
Cider houses also exist in other countries. For example, the Basque Country has cider houses, which are called sagardotegi.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
