When I was visiting Australia, I visited a winery that made ginger wine. It was amazing, and it was what I would want to drink with Asian food 100% of the time. I assumed I'd be able to find ginger wine back in California, but alas no one makes the stuff here! I have actually considered ordering a case of it from the winery in Australia, even though shipping would cost an arm and a leg.
- jhy 4y agoSounds great! Do you remember the name / city of the winery?
- gnicholas 4y agoShannonvale Tropical Fruit Winery, near Port Douglas and Cairns: https://www.shannonvalewine.com.au/ https://www.shannonvalewine.com.au/
- thematrixturtle 4y agoHit up your favorite Asian grocery and ask for 姜酒. The flavor profile may be quite different though.
- gnicholas 4y agoCan you share any additional detail on what this is, or how to pronounce it?
- thematrixturtle 4y agoLiterally "ginger wine" (jiāngjiǔ). Can refer to pretty much any ginger-flavored wine/liquor in China.
- gnicholas 4y agoThanks! Sounds like it could be merely flavored by ginger (and made from fermented grapes/other fruit), or actually made from fermented ginger. Is that right?
- thematrixturtle 4y agoUnfortunately it can be either, the Chinese 酒 is often glossed "wine" but it's really just "alcohol".
