Coorg women are gifted wine makers. It is said, “Gift a Coorg woman a bouquet of roses, she will thank you politely and as soon as you are out of sight, she will rip off the fragrant petals and turn it into wine”. So you see Coorg women can transform anything and everything into wine that catches their fancy. Cashews, rose petals, rice, raisins, plums, berries, passion fruit and even hibiscus. Unbelievable, right?
Variants also include "Pomegranate", "Beetal Leaf", "Ginger", "Sapota" wines. There's a lady in Coorg who also makes the world's best home made "Apricot Brandy". Female guests at family functions love all these flavors without the worry of getting drunk!!
Homemade wines are sugary, full of flavour and fragrance. Passion fruits form the ingredient of their wine making as these trees with juicy and rich flavoured fruits grow galore along the hills of Coorg, Karnataka, India.
