Talk:Sagardotegi

Template
I don't think so, I looked at most cider related pages when I did this page and didn't see any. The Basques call it apple-wine... maybe be should use a wine-template ;). Thanks for the template link too! Akerbeltz (talk) 11:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I am new to this, so please accept my apologies for mistakes. I think that the first picture is not of a basque sagardotegi, but of an Asturian sidrería Asturias (NW Spain). The guy is wearing a typical Asturian hat, a montera picona. He is carryng a drum, so he is an Asturian tamboriteru or a drum player. They play at popular fiestas called romeríes, but also at espichas, which are parties thrown to celebrate that the cider is ready to drink. In fact, the literal meaning of espicha is a small wooden piece that is used to close the tap from where the people sample the cider to see if it's ready. I think I could even recognize the place, but will check before. I don't think that the second picture is of a sagardotegi either. They basques do not throw the cider from such a height, and the glass is way bigger than the typical basque glasses. Look at the third picture, and you'll see that the real basque glasses are much smaller. The glass in the second picture is an Asturian glass, as is the bottle. The bottles's shape is completely different, as you can see by comparing the second and third pictures.


 * It's ok :) I agree, the pictures on Wiki Commons, definitely the first one, are from Asturias rather than the BC. Unfortunately there currently aren't any specifically Basque one's. But I have been to many sagardotegis in the BC and except for the musician, both could equally feature a scene from the BC (including the height... not sure about the glass size issue). But you're right, it's slightly misleading. I'll fiddle with the caption a bit to mention this is actually asturian. Thanks for brining it up. Akerbeltz (talk) 00:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
