I have always been fascinated by the fruit wines in unique bottles that I always see in the mall. These fruit wines were made from Guyabano, Bignay and Mango; and I have been wondering how these wines tastes. Luckily, I had the opportunity to have a taste of the Strawberry Wine from Baguio City and I actually liked it mainly because of its sweet taste.

Wines made from fruits other than grapes have been gaining popularity especially in our country where tropical fruits are abundant. We all know that wine is a product of partial or complete alcoholic fermentation of fruit juices, but do you know how to make a wine? Let me share with you how.

The process of wine-making is quite easy and simple with just four basic steps, namely:

But what catches my attention most was the wine from Banana. Yes, Banana Wine! So I've decided to share with you the recipe for Banana Wine since I find it very uncommon.

So, here's the recipe that I got for Banana Wine:
