Mujugucheondong Wild Grape Wine
무주구천동머루와인
Mujugucheondong Wild Grape Wine is a 12% ABV fruit wine from Jeollabuk-do, made with Korean wild grapes (meoru) harvested in the Muju region. Unlike its higher-proof sibling, this 12% expression takes a softer, more approachable path while still preserving the essential wild-grape identity. Muju sits at the convergence of mountain valleys where meoru vines climb through mixed forest canopy, giving the fruit a distinctive wild-berry character that orchard grapes cannot replicate. The nose opens with bright wild strawberry, crushed blackberry leaf, and a fresh, slightly tart sweetness. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a clean, flowing texture that feels more refreshing than heavy. The sweetness is lively and well-lifted by natural acidity, making it genuinely food-friendly rather than purely a dessert pour. Wild grape tannins are present but gentle, adding a light grip that maintains interest. The finish is moderate, clean, and leaves a pleasant berry freshness. The 750ml bottle works well for casual meals and gatherings. Serve at 10-13°C with mild cheeses and crackers, alongside light appetizers like vegetable tempura, or with hoe (raw fish) where the wine's brightness cleanses the palate between bites.

Korean Fruit Wine
Hae 1614
해 1614
Hae 1614 is a 12% ABV fruit wine from Jeollabuk-do, produced by Deokyu Brewing using domestic Cheongsu green grapes, sugar, potassium metabisulfite, and yeast. The Cheongsu variety is a Korean-bred grape cultivar adapted to local growing conditions, and its character shows through as bright, juicy green grape notes rather than the heavier tannin structure of red grape wines. At 750ml and 12%, this sits in standard table wine territory, offering enough structure for cheese and charcuterie while remaining light enough for desserts and fruit-forward starters.
