Thanks to the fermentation magic, almost fruits can be turn from sweet bite to bitter wine.
The Ilocos have the One Town One Product or OTOP to make a kind of indigenous product that can be only identified to that town or village. And because fruits are everywhere, most of them come up with the fruit wine products.
But unlike those early days that can only come with the fruit wine put in the bottle and expense it after few months, now got the level-up. Coming with the processed product with the cleaned bottle and the good labeling and branding.
What’s good with fruit wines, they are organic.
To name a few of these fruit wines, here it is:
BUGNAY WINE. Bugnay is a kind of tree bearing small cherry fruits. Early stage of fruits are green turning into red and sour but when it is already ripe and turning the color into black the fruit taste become good and sweet. Usually it is being consumed by the birds because of its small size (the size of mongo beans) but kids usually can handle just a few. When local people got the idea making it into wine, it is a hit that during the trade fairs and bazaars Bugnay wine are being displayed to sell.
CALAMANSI WINE. Calamansi is a citrus fruit well known for the vitamin C. The extract is popular to calamansi juice just like orange juice. During the season so many fruits that people think of idea by turning it into other products like wine and vinegars. Since it is sour so you might expect a sour vinegar. But no because it is a sweet kind of wine just like champagne.
CHERRY WINE. Of course we all know cherry—the sweet and reddish kind of fruits that we usually find at the top of the cake. Well, it got another purpose in life—to become a wine. And yes, it is sweet and bubbly kind of wine. Good wine as lady’s drink.
SANTOL WINE. Santol is a tropical tree usually bearing fruits during the later parts of summer. I didn’t even have the idea that this can be made as wine until I saw the attractive bottle with label as “santol wine”.
COFFEE WINE. If you think all coffee is good every morning, forget it, this one is not good idea consuming every morning because it’s a wine. At least this is a good level-up for the coffee that we only know in our Dad’s mug. Now it will be a good company at dawn when you want to get some spirit and the coffee wine can do the thing.
There are other kinds of fruits wines, so many of them, in fact any fruits can be made into wine if you want to. But these fruit wines are the most popular now.
