Pruno
Pruno
Pruno, also known as prison wine, is a type of alcoholic beverage that is often produced illicitly within prison environments. The term "pruno" originates from the Spanish word for "plum", reflecting one of the common ingredients used in its production.
Pronunciation
Pruno is pronounced as /ˈpruːnoʊ/.
Etymology
The term "pruno" is derived from the Spanish word "pruno", which means "plum". This is in reference to the use of fruit, often plums, in the traditional recipe for this beverage.
Production
Pruno is typically produced using a combination of fruit, sugar, and a source of yeast. The ingredients are combined in a sealed container and allowed to ferment over a period of several days or weeks. The resulting beverage is typically high in alcohol content, although the exact percentage can vary depending on the specific recipe and fermentation process used.
Health Risks
Due to the unsanitary conditions in which it is often produced, pruno can pose a number of health risks. These can include food poisoning and other gastrointestinal issues, as well as the potential for alcohol poisoning due to the high alcohol content.
