Dears, Tara waxes eloquent on the virtues of red grape wine. Grapes are not economically grown in Goa: cashews are. Wonderful wine can be made from cashew apples by fermenting the cahew-apple juice the same way as grape 'must' or juice. Lumina Lobo has been making cashew wine in Siolim and selling it at the Konkan Fruit Fest at Panjim the last two years. There is no reason why others cannot do likewise. Goa is associated with cashew...nuts, feni, neero,CNSL. Why not add cashew wines, nectar, squashes and juices to the list. Arolkars of Kudal and Barde of Belgaum have already shown the way. I endorse wines as a health drink when drunk in moderation. regards, Miguel > From: Cecil Pinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Goanet]Go for Wine - By Tara Narayan Actually country liquor is being rapidly replaced by beer in the > urban areas..."
