Is there any sunch thing as banana wine?
My Dad said "There's got to be banana wine out there some where." I need someone to tell me if he is right.
Answers:
Wine comes from the fermentation of grape juices, and the taste of the wine depends on the region, fermentation process and the type of oak used for that wine. Sometimes white wines can actually attain hints of banana flavors especially if they were grown near a banana field; however, bananas mostly grow in hot areas like South and Central America.
You can make Vodka out of Bananas..
But unless there is something new out there that I don't know about, it seems like someone misinformed your father.

I dont think soo
maybe but i dont think that it has enough moisture to have a really good wine, you might have to add something to it. but technically you can make a wine out of any fruit but not sure a banana one would taste good.
I know there is something called banana liquor, like the Kahlua (coffee liquor), not precisely wine tho.
You can go to liquor store and ask for it.

They have allll different flavors, including banana, papaya, raisin, and many more tropical fruit flavors.
yup...here's the recipe:
3 pounds bananas
1 1/2 cups light raisins
5 cups granulated sugar
2 lemons
2 campden tablets
1 teaspoon nutrients
water
1 package wine yeast
Peel and slice bananas. Chop 1/10 to 1/2 of the banana peels. Place both in a large saucepan with 6 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain out pulp.
Put sugar, raisins, campden tablets and the juice of the lemons into primary fermentor. Pour hot banana liquid over sugar mixture and stir to dissolve. Make up to 1 gallon with cold water. Let sit overnight.
The next day, add nutrients and yeast. Leave for 5 days, stirring daily. There will be heavy foaming during fermentation.
On the fifth day, siphon into secondary fermentor before stirring, being careful not to disturb the sediment on the bottom. If necessary, make up to volume with water. Attach airlock. Siphon the wine off the sediment after three weeks. Return wine to fermentor.
For a dry wine, Rack every three months for a year.
For a sweet wine, add 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup wine at each racking until fermentation does not start again when sugar is added.
Continue racking wine every two to three months until it is clear. Bottle.
I've never hear of a banana wine, but I have a bottle of Banana liquer.
Google it.
I've never heard of any, but in theory it could definitely be made. The comment about it's moisture comment is spot on, I believe. While the term "wine" on its own typically refers to grape wine, other fermented drinks can be made from fruit, and are often refered to as wine, such as plum wine, pomace wine, apple wine, and elderberry wine. All that is required is to create a sugar-rich solution and add yeast, which convert the natural sugars into alcohol. As far as commercial products are concerned, most (all) are likely to be grape wine (or an impersonation) that is flavored with bananas. Because the bananas are not actually fermented themselves, these are not true banana wines. Somewhere, somebody undoubtedly makes this, though.
