In 2007, the BEMBEL-WITH-CARE® brand presented its modern interpretation of apple wine (GERMAN CIDER). The key focus was on fusing tradition and innovation. This resulted in the world’s first apple wine in designer cans. The endangered local cultural treasure became a universal cultural icon. The traditional drink became party-friendly and attractive to new target groups, and, step by step, also became known beyond the region.

Bembel has since become the national market leader in this segment, with products available in almost 10,000 shops worldwide.

BEMBEL-WITH-CARE’s high-quality cider contains no flavour enhancers, aromas or sweeteners. The result is a fruity cider with increased residual sweetness that is also popular with people who are new to cider. Thanks to innovative filtering technology, the cider is suitable for vegans. This iconic drink is produced by the traditional Krämer pressing house, which has been making the finest Odenwald cider since 1928.

The partnership with the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring has been in place for several years now. Bembel prefers to be represented where emotions and passion come to a standstill. For us, this partnership is the perfect symbiosis of enjoying great moments together with a cold Bembel while experiencing highly professional sport.
