Fruit wine
Fruit Wine
Fruit wine (/fruːt waɪn/) is a type of wine made from a variety of fruit other than grape. The etymology of the term "fruit wine" is derived from the Old French word "vin", which means wine, and the Latin word "fructus", which means fruit.
Production
The production of fruit wine starts with the selection of the base fruit. The fruit is then crushed and the resulting must is fermented with various yeast strains. The fermentation process converts the sugars in the fruit into alcohol. The wine is then aged, filtered, and finally bottled.
Types
There are many types of fruit wines, often named after the fruit from which they are produced. Examples include apple wine, cherry wine, peach wine, plum wine, and elderberry wine.
Consumption
Fruit wines are often consumed on their own or used as a base in cocktails. They are also used in cooking, particularly in the preparation of desserts and sauces.
Health Benefits
While fruit wines should be consumed in moderation due to their alcohol content, they do offer some health benefits. These include the presence of antioxidants and potential heart health benefits.
