3. Redcurrant and White currant wine
More than experimenting, it was a constraint for the people living in northerly cool areas, where the cultivation of grapes is a little troublesome because of the adverse climatic conditions. At such places with extreme weather these fruits are easy to produce. White Currant, also known as beige currant is a great source of Vitamin C, B1 and a rich source of iron, copper, and magnesium.
Red currant, on the other hand, is moderate in terms of calories and are rich in Vitamin C and K and can be distinguished by its unique tart-y flavor. With potassium and calcium found in abundance, red currant is a complete package in terms of nutritional value.
4. Banana Wine
Yes, you read it right! Though not commercially famous and its production is done at a very small scale, mainly in East Africa. This wine has got a clear, sparkly appearance, with more shelf-power than banana beer, as banana beer gets spoiled easily and is not stored for a long period of time.
In Tanzania, banana wine is made by the usual fermenting of peeled, mashed, ripe bananas, by adding water (to make the thick mash dilute), yeast and adding sugar to the “banana mash”. Depending on the strain of yeast and the quantity of sugar added to the mash, the sweetness, and alcohol level in the final product changes from batch to batch.
Loaded with potassium, which is so obvious, manganese and vitamins, it is mostly preferred by the health conscious strata. This fruit wine acts more as a health tonic and controls blood pressure while aiding digestion, preserving memory and uplifts mood and prevents kidney disorders too.
5. Lychee Wine
Solely belongs to Chinese cuisine, this golden, rich wine is sweet and made of 100% fresh lychee fruit. Talking about Chinese liquor, people use lychee wine more like a dessert wine as it counters the spices in Asian cuisine. Lychee wine captures the subtle flavor of berry in wine. The wine has got a unique flavor, but not much overpowering. With the distinct fragrance of the lychee fruit and it is less acidic the wine tastes both sweet and pungent, at the same time.
“Non-grape” wines, what we call fruit wines, are the perfect refreshment for people looking for a change of taste from the traditional wines, however, for developing a taste for the drink one should start with grape wine and then move on these exciting new categories. Rich in flavonoids, an antioxidant compound found in some fruits, helps to prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Nitric oxide present in lychee regulates blood flow and lowers blood pressure. Nutrients such as magnesium, copper, iron, vitamin C, manganese, and folate, are found in high amount and it helps in blood circulation and its formation as well.
So, with all the above in mind, enjoy a well-made wine at your wine parties, no matter what it is and toast the best that life has to offer!
