Plum wine
Plum jerkum is made from fermented plums in a manner similar to the use of apples for cider. It was
often associated with the north Cotswolds and was once a product of the city of Worcester.
Pomegranate wine
Pomegranate wine is a very popular fruit wine in Israel, where it is called Rimon.
Pineapple wine
Pineapple wine is made from the juice of pineapples. Fermentation of the pineapple juice takes
place in temperature-controlled vats and is stopped at near-dryness. The result is a soft, dry, fruit
wine with a strong pineapple bouquet. Pineapple wine is popular in Thailand and other SE Asian
countries, where it is made using traditional practices and is not available commercially. In
Mexico, fermented pineapple beverages are very popular and given the name Tepache.
Dandelion wine
Dandelion wine is a fruit wine of moderate alcohol content that is made
from dandelion petals and sugar, usually combined with an acid (such as lemon juice).
While commonly made as a homemade recipe, there is only a handful of wineries that
commercially produce.
Cherry wine
Cherry wine is a type of fruit wine made with cherries, usually tart cherries that provide sufficient
acid. Cherry wines can be used to make fortified wines and liqueurs. Michigan wine makers,
located in the leading tart-cherry-producing region of the United States, produce several varieties
of cherry wine, including spiced versions and cherry-grape blends. "Cherry Kijafa" is a fortified
fruit wine that is produced in Denmark from cherries with added natural flavors, and usually
contains 16% alcohol by volume.
Orange wine
Orange wine, although not commercially widely available, is produced in South Africa, and
by home wine makers. The taste is a light bodied wine, pale or golden in color, dry, thin in body,
alcoholic. Outcome is reliant on the yeast used. Recipes are few and far between. Typically a
home wine maker is receiving the bounty of their own orange tree or from a neighbors tree. The
wine can be difficult to make because the fruit is very acidic, and the pH must be adjusted up.
