Last night, our UP AISC barkada and family had a night cap of coffee ... not hot coffee but chilled coffee wine. You read it right - COFFEE WINE. The wine was a hit, Arthur who now resides in London continuedly gulped the wine like water. So as Vic, Sammy and the ladies. I pulled out a one-fourth full Novelino sweet wine for them to compare. Ofcourse, they taste differently but they all agree that the coffee wine is delicious, sweet and easy to drink (walang sabit) and better than the more expensive ones. The full bottle of Winers coffee wine was consumed first than the 1/4 full Novelino wine. Since my friends have to drive after our reunion, they were asking if by drinking coffee wine, will they be kept awake while driving at night, or will they feel sleepy or drunk because of the alcohol." Hmmmm ... ????
We brought the coffee wine from Baguio City's Tam-awan Village. The wine has about 7.5% alcohol and one bottle costs P150.00. According to the label, the wine was organically fermented from coffee Arabica and the main ingredients are coffee, water and sugar. It is manufactured by Winers.
Actually, there are other flavors of the Winer's products. At Tam-awan Village, we had a taste of the four flavors - the coffee wine which is sweet, the Yakun which has a strong taste like a combination of gin and brandy, the Bugnay (Wild Berry) which has a similar taste as Novelino sweet wine and the rice wine. You can see in the photo that each flavor has its unique color. Depending on your taste, you will definitely like one of the flavors. I am not sure if these wine products are available in Manila. So I suggest that when you visit Baguio, don't forget to bring home a pasalubong of Winers.
