Coconut wine recipe is not only for people who live in very warm climes. We can all walk into a supermarket and find desicated coconut freely available on the shelves of our local supermarket. We can also purchase whole coconuts in the same supermaket so the choice is ours. Make as much or as little as you like, we needn’t worry when to make either but how much to make! Maybe times the contents of this coconut wine recipe by three and make 18 bottles. We suggest you serve this wine slightly chilled.
