Fruit wines are fermented alcoholic beverages made from a variety of base ingredients (other than grapes); they may also have additional flavors taken from fruits, flowers, and herbs. This definition is sometimes broadened to include any fermented alcoholic beverage except beer. For historical reasons, mead, cider, and perry are also excluded from the definition of fruit wine.〔J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 768 Oxford University Press 2006 ISBN 0-19-860990-6〕 Fruit wines have traditionally been popular with home winemakers and in areas with cool climates such as North America and Scandinavia; in Africa, India, and the Philippines, wine is made from bananas. ==Labeling== Fruit wines are usually referred to by their main ingredient (e.g., ''plum wine'' or ''elderberry wine'') because the usual definition of wine states that it is made from fermented grape juice. In the European Union, wine is legally defined as the fermented juice of grapes.〔 In the United Kingdom, fruit wine is commonly called ''country wine''; the term should not be conflated with the French term ''vin de pays'', which is grape wine. In British legislation, the term ''made-wine'' is used. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fruit wine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
