Pineapple wine is prepared from the juice of pineapple. The pineapple juice is fermented in temperature controlled vats and is stopped at near dryness. Pineapple wine is a fruity, dry and sweet wine which contains a hint of pineapple flavor and tastes like a good white wine. Pineapple wine is more like a semi-dry white wine and not very sweet like a dessert wine. One can find this wine almost everywhere in the world and is very affordable, for as low as $10 per bottle in some places.

A pineapple wine has a tart and light taste. Pineapple wine when served with slices of fresh pineapple provides extra flavor to it. It goes well with fruity desserts, pork dishes and ham. This wine is great with a Hawaiin dinner. The first step in the preparation of pineapple wine includes boiling water with granulated sugar. The next step is removing the skin of pineapple and chopping the fruit into small pieces. The pineapple is placed into a nylon straining bag and is tied and kept in the primary fermentor. The fruit is crushed in the fermentor while it is in the bag and the bag is left in the fermentor. Then a mixture of granulated sugar and boiling water is poured over the fruit. The mixture is then allowed to cool by covering it with a cloth. After the mixture settles down at room temperature place acid blend, yeast nutrient, tannin and crushed campden tablet into the fermentor. Cover it for one day and add pectic enzymes. After adding pectic enzymes add one packet of activated Champagne wine yeast and the wine is then allowed to ferment for 7 days. After 7 days, nylon straining bag is taken out of the fermentor and the juice is extracted out. The bag and pulp should be discarded and the wine is allowed to settle for more 10 days. After 10 days, the wine is racked into the secondary fermentor fitted with an airlock and the process is continued for 6 months. Then the wine is stabilized and after 10 days it is poured into the bottles.
