If you don’t want to drink alcohol in Luxembourg your next best option will be Apple Juice. It’s more prominent at the beginning of Autumn when the apples are ripe, and people begin to pluck them for various reasons. From the valley of the Alzette or close to the Moselle, you’ll find local cider presses that make ‘Viz.’ You can also purchase different options of non-alcoholic apple cider in shops offering them at great prices. Sometimes, you’ll find the apples mixed with different types of fruits, so you have plenty of option for you to buy. There is a small village in the east of Luxembourg known as the cider press of Eppeldorf, where people get the very best of non-alcoholic apple cider.
