Cambodian wine: the Wild Grape Wine Company.
Did you know that they make wine in Cambodia ? A winemaker from Pursat has been producing wine using wild grapes for the past ten years.
The Wild Grape Wine Company already exports wine to China, and the winemaker, Mr Vireak, is hoping to break into Vietnamese and Thai markets. However, he says that the Asean Economic Community(AEC) has not been much use to his business so far.

Anyone seen this, or tasted it ?

They also produce wine near Battambang. Tried it once a few years ago. I have stuck to Cambodian beer ever since, couldn't even use that vile stuff as vinegar.

Re: Cambodian wine: the Wild Grape Wine Company.
No, I haven't drunk the wine but I've eaten the wild grapes of Cambodia (tumpeang bai ju) and as such they are hardly recommendable. They are sour and impart an itchy sensation in the mouth and throat and on the lips. It is hard to believe that fermentation alone could remove these noxious qualities. Maybe it doesn't but people buy it because it's cheap and gets the job done. It might be similar to Thunderbird, a beverage best quaffed from a brown bag while comfortably established on a curb by the gutter.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

There could be a potential market for this in SHV, but I've never seen it here.taabarang wrote:No, I haven't drunk the wine but I've eaten the wild grapes of Cambodia (tumpeang bai ju) and as such they are hardly recommendable.

Not surprised they are exporting to China though.

Yes, best to export solely to the 'Half sights', keep the Aussie and Chile vintages for those with a (long) nose for quality, at a fair price.Anchor Moy wrote:There could be a potential market for this in SHV, but I've never seen it here.taabarang wrote:No, I haven't drunk the wine but I've eaten the wild grapes of Cambodia (tumpeang bai ju) and as such they are hardly recommendable.
