Indigenous wine-making traditions in the Philippines dates back to before the

Visayan languages) was and continues to be an important aspect of Filipino social interactions.[1][2][3]
Indigenous wines include the following:

Palm wines

Among the most widely prevalent wines produced in the Philippines is the

fishtail palms (Caryota spp.), which are known as tuhak and tunggang, respectively.[4][5]

A notable variant of tubâ from the

Visayan peoples of Visayas and Mindanao is the bahalina, which is distinctively reddish-brown in color due to the use of bark extracts from certain mangrove species. Tubâ is also commonly consumed with raw egg yolks and other sweet ingredients, a combination known as kinutil.[6][7][8]

During the

lambanóg in modern times.[1]

Rice wines

Tapuy, a rice wine of the Igorot people

Rice wines used to be common in pre-colonial times, as part of the process of

Sulodnon people of Panay, though it has also been replaced with sugarcane.[1][9][10][11]

Among the

Manobo people of Bukidnon, a similar rice wine exists called agkud. It is flavored with ginger and sugarcane juice.[12] In the northern Philippines, the only surviving rice wine is the tapuy of the Igorot people, also known locally as baya. It is mixed with ginger and roots. It is a very important part of traditional rituals of the highland tribes.[4][13]

Sugarcane wines

Sugarcane wines include the

Basi Revolt when Spanish authorities tried to ban the private manufacture of basi.[14]

Another sugarcane wine was the

Lumad peoples of Mindanao where it is flavored with langkawas (Alpinia galanga) or pal-la (Cordyline fruticosa) roots.[17]

Mead

Manobo people which is made from honey and water.[17]

Modern wines

Most of the modern wines produced in the country are based on locally produced crops with

grape-based wines mostly imported from Australia and European countries.[18] In 2012, it was reported that previous attempts to produce grapes which are suitable enough for wine making in northern Philippines failed due to unsuitable soil conditions and high temperatures.[19]

Modern local wines are mostly

Chinese-Filipino immigrants. A notable variant of anisado is anisado Mallorca, or simply Mallorca, which adds sugar and can also be used as a cooking wine.[1][16]
