Best Tasting Wine Proudly
Philippine Made
1. Tuba (also called Coconut Red
Wine, Coconut Toddy, Jungle
Wine, Bahal or Bahalina)

Island, particularly in Leyte. This
red mix from combining Barok (a
reddish color bark of mangrove
tree) with the coconut sap was
believed to be offered as a
welcome drink to Ferdinand
Magellan when he and his men
arrived on our shore noting this
drink as one of the oldest recorded
alcoholic drink in the Philippines.

wine or Coconut Vodka)
This is the most popular
alcoholic drink in the Southern
Tagalog and largely produced in
Quezon Province, and selected
areas of Laguna and Batangas. It
is essentially made like the Tuba,
the only difference is their color
and the processing since Tuba is
fermented to make Lambanog.

its beautiful spots but also for its unique wine
made from fermenting sugar cane juice and
storing it to an earthen jar called Burnay.

bark or other fruits or barks is added as
flavorings after the juice has cooled. This
wine takes at least 3 months to ferment and a
year to age, producing a light brown drink

Revolt resulted in a bloodbath that killed
Spanish troops and many Ilocanos.

grow abundantly and the process

grade of the sap that will be collected.

turn it into vinegar.

developed our very own rice wine

the word “Tapi” (Tapie) or “Tape” (ta-peh) which
refers to the traditional fermented food found in most
Southeast Asian countries. The liquid produced by
mixing glutinous rice, bubod (starch powder with
yeast), onuad roots, ginger extract, water, and stored
in an earthen jar, taste sweet but leaves a persistent
taste.

taste of locally made strawberry wine will
