Fruit-based wines are alcoholic beverages made from the fermentation of fruits other than grapes. Common fruits used include apples, peaches, cherries, and blackberries. These wines can vary in flavor, sweetness, and acidity, depending on the type of fruit and the fermentation process used. Unlike traditional grape wines, fruit wines often have a lighter body and can be enjoyed chilled. They are popular in various regions, especially where specific fruits are abundant. Many fruit wines are crafted by small producers, allowing for unique and diverse flavor profiles that reflect the characteristics of the fruit used.
