WINE — a beautifully crafted alcoholic drink typically made with the fermented juice of grapes.
Theoretically, any fruit can be capable of producing wine. That said, apples, cranberries, plums, raspberries, etc can be used to make wine. However, if there’s just ‘Wine’ written on the label, be sure that it is made of grapes.
