What is Banana Wine?

Banana wine is made by fermenting ripe bananas together with water and sugar and yeast. The wine production process uses dessert banana types which contain high sugar levels as the fruit needs to be mashed or pulped to obtain sugars suitable for fermentation. Yeast transforms natural sugars into alcohol during fermentation which produces wine that ranges from mildly sweet to semi-dry and features a distinctive fruity aroma and a smooth mouthfeel. Banana wine exhibits a pale golden to amber color and contains moderate alcohol levels while its natural nutrient content originates from bananas which provide potassium and antioxidants. The beverage serves as a standalone drink which people pair with food and its popularity grows in areas where banana crops thrive.
