Yeast strains for wine and cider (self.homebrewing)

How much difference does different yeast strains really make? Is it perceptible like what kind of apples you used or is it delicate nuances when doing a blind tasting?

As others said it makes a big difference.

I made cider with lager, ale, champaign, wine and yeast separated from live culture (some garden mix). Each had different character and some were bad.

I would suggest some wine or ale yeast but it is because they are easiest to come by for me.
