I met a wonderful couple from our island. They come from a city called Victorias in Northern Negros, known for its world-class sugar mill, golf course, and Spanish sardines.
This couple, who are both researchers, have gone into the commercial production of fruit wines, namely Bignay and Duhat wines—made from two local island berries. The wines are actually sweet, but even without alcohol added, the alcohol content is at 13%. I was told that even if one finishes the entire bottle in one night, there’s no hangover whatsoever in the morning. But I think that those with high blood sugar should watch out for it. I think it has high sugar content.
Bignay wine is quite heavy on the stomach while Duhat wine is smooth. Recently, they introduced the pineapple wine, which I prefer more than its predecessors. It is not so sweet and it goes down smooth. I think it is a wonderful casual table wine.
Afterwards, they may offer Mango Wines.
I love those fruit wines too. I don’t know if it is really the taste or just because i love exotic stuff and for me wine is something…somewhat… uhm…an “exotic stuff”. Anybody wanna try them? They’re available at Merci Pasalubong Center.
great! then it’s cheers!
God bless you!
