Description

Topic: Palm wine – an ancient, non-grape wine made from palm tree sap


What is Palm Wine? Naturally fermenting sap collected from palm trees; typically consumed the same day


Traditional Use: Morning (low-alcohol, sweet) vs. evening (higher alcohol); if left too long, it turns to vinegar


Innovative Twist: Onye creates a molecular palm sap from plant-based sources, allowing for controlled fermentation


Wine Style: Sparkling, pet-nat-inspired, unfiltered and hazy


Alcohol Content: Traditional palm wine: ~3–4%, Ikenga Wines: ~8–10%


Fun Fact: Palm wine may date back to prehistoric times and is naturally consumed by animals like bats and primates!
