Hello! What kind of alcohol do you like? I personally prefer sweet fruit wines. There are so many different kinds of fruit wines in Korea. Today, I'm going to introduce you to some of the most popular ones, including Maesilju (plum wine), Grape Wine, and Apple Wine, and recommend some products!
First, Maesilju is a wine made from plums and is one of Korea's most representative fruit wines, so common that it's often made at home. Plums are originally a fruit with a strong sour taste, but through fermentation, the alcohol content increases, reducing the sourness and enhancing the sweetness. Also, due to the plum's digestive and detoxifying properties, it is said to aid digestion when enjoyed with meals.
Grape wine is wine made from grapes, and it's not yet widely popular in Korea. However, with the recent release of various grape wines, it's gradually gaining popularity. Among fruit wines, grape wine has the highest alcohol content and comes in a wide variety of styles, from dry to sweet.
Apple wine is made from apples, characterized by its sweet taste and aroma. The more it ferments, the stronger the unique flavor becomes, so it's usually lightly fermented to create a low-alcohol, light beverage. While not a mainstream drink in Korea, famous apple-producing regions in the country produce their own apple wines.

Let me introduce you to Deohanju's Maesilwonju. It's a plum wine made with 100% Maesilju extract, without any other fruit wines added. The plums used are fully ripened Hwangmaesil, which are expensive, but the company strives to use the best ingredients. It's made using a traditional family recipe, using Jeju Island honey instead of sugar to harmonize with the plum's natural flavor. It's also reasonably priced for a plum wine, making it perfect for when you need a sweet plum wine. ㅎㅎ
