Country-wine making from Eembe fruit ( Berchemia discolor of Namibia
S. Barrion, E.L Keya*, and T.N. Ngwira
Abstract
Country-wine was made from dried Eembe fruit purchased from Katima Mulilo open
market using commercial wine yeast. The fruit produced a wine with 8.6% alcohol
content when no sugar was added. Fermentation to produce the wine was carried
out at 22°C. The clarity, aroma, colour and acceptability of the wine was aided
by the addition of sulphur dioxide. The addition of sugar to the must produced
from the dried fruit increased the alcohol content of the wine and all the
batches produced dry wine.
