Homemade Mango Wine Recipe / Manga Wine Recipe

by Swapna

It’s November already and hardly 52 days left to Christmas :).... Like I asked in one of my last year’s post have you started your Christmas

preparations like soaking fruits for Christmas cake or making wine etc? This

year I don’t need to soak much fruits as I have some left over from last year but

• wine I need to check if there is enough to last till Christmas ;).... And if in case you are looking for a nice
• Christmas cake or wine please check my old posts.... Now we will proceed to
• today’s wine recipe…. This wine was made after a phone conversation with my
• neighbor and cousin Saira.... during one of our chats the topic of wine making came
• up and we got the idea of Mango Wine..... for a week Mango wine was in my mind and I
• was thinking how it would taste etc..... so on my next grocery shopping I bought a
• kilo of ripe mangoes.....Since my Guava Wine was a huge hit I decided to follow
• the same recipe and after the fermentation period I gave a bottle to my cousin
• to taste and according to her husband this is my best trial :)..... I am waiting for
• next summer so that I can buy some Indian Alphonso Mangoes and try this wine
• one more time.... I know it’s not mango season now, but if you are a wine lover
• and whenever you get hold of some good quality mangoes do try this I am sure
• you will love it.....
