A toast for success!
The small town of Adams has gone this far without much "reconstruction of the road," shunning from any misuses, flaunting its natural beauty. The Mt. Palemlem, rainforests, waterfalls, rivers, even the weeds and rocks, all served for Adams’ walk to fame. Indeed, it is an effortless move of Mother Nature. It didn’t require a lot of publicities but a support from the folks, which is very evident as they weren’t tempted to burn the mountains for farming, cut the trees for plumbing and use dynamites for fishing. Being a crimeless community therefore thrives in not only the tourism industry but also other businesses – winemaking industry tops these.
Winemaking
industry in Adams includes the production of wine made from local products such as glutinous rice (tapuey) and wildberry
fruit (bugnay). It was started a few
years ago thru the initiative of Dr. Bielmaju Waly-Bawingan aiming to help
the community people increase their income as well as promote local culture and
tourism.
The bugnay wine has this quirky but pleasant
taste and aroma which is likened to a grape wine hence preferred by consumers. It
is reddish to purplish in color, resembling like any other red wines. Truly,
elegance can now be as simple as having a supply of bugnay wine in the house.
Bugnay contains naturally occurring
colored pigments called flavonoids, specifically anthocyanins. These anthocyanins
are considered to play a beneficial role in visual acuity, heart diseases,
cancer, age-related neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes and bacterial
infections.
Winemaking is a laborious process. It includes extracting of juice,
dilution, fermentation, aging process, separating residues, bottling, corking, labeling
and packaging. During the course of fermentation, fruit sugars are converted to alcohol known as
ethanol, a colorless liquid with pleasant smell.

This is very interesting. I hope more people would plant this kind of tree so they could keep up the demand. Happy Mother's day to your Mom, Vhinci!

NIce. sayang wala kang fruits na miss ko na yan.

I wonder what is bugnay in our local dialect in Bicol, I can imagine it is similar to "balig-ang" as we call it. Is the fruit similar to duhat or grapes, only a bit smaller and more round in shape? Hehe. If so, we have that fruit-bearing tree in our backyard.
I just learned recently that it is called bignay in Tagalog. Philippines is indeed rich in local fruits like this wildberry which can be made to wines. Sige Rommel, pag nakakita ako ng fruits na yan, I'll post it here. :)
Yes, you're right Pepe, bugnay is in the family of grapes and duhat which is just smaller in size. Great if you have one in your backyard. You should learn how to make wine then. Kasi masarap sya talaga. Hehe! :)
I love Bugnay. Hahaha.THe berry i mean, not the wine :))
