After fermentation, the wine can be a little thin so we need to boost the body and bolster the flavour.Īdding raisins to the must give the finished wine more body and the wine will have a sweeter quality so the pineapple flavour can really shine. Pineapple wine needs a little help to retain the flavour and body you would expect from such a full flavoured fruit.
You will notice the surface of the fruit will have a grey powderiness and it is quite possible the pineapple is already fermenting so avoid this at all costs.
Under-ripe pineapples have less sweetness and are slightly tarter but are better to use than over-ripe pineapples. You want ripe pineapples, you can tell as the leaves can be easily pulled from the crown with a short tug. If you use fresh pineapple for this recipe then taking the time to pick out ripe pineapples will make a lot of difference to the finished wine. Always look for 100% natural ingredients, just pineapple canned in its own juice. These preservatives will interfere with fermentation and possibly stall the fermentation. One thing you will want to note however is that if you do use canned pineapple for this wine recipe that there are no preservatives or additives. I would usually recommend fresh if available as you can choose the fruit yourself and test how ripe it is but really you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between canned pineapple wine or fresh. It makes this wine a real year-round possibility. This pineapple wine recipe works with both fresh or canned pineapple so the odds are that if there are no fresh pineapples available near you can still make this pineapple wine. The flavour and natural acidity of the pineapple come through in the finished wine, reminiscent of a pineapple flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. Pineapples are one of the sweetest fruits around and this high sugar level is perfect for winemaking. In countries like Hawaii and other tropical countries where pineapples grow, making alcohol with pineapples is quite commonplace.
Pineapple wine may not be that common compared to other fruit wines.
