Description
The characteristics of ''tapuy'', as in many other rice wines, depend on the process and ingredients used by each manufacturer. However, in general, ''tapuy'' is a clear full-bodied wine with a strong alcoholic flavor, moderately sweet and often leaves a lingering taste. The alcohol content is 28 proof or about 14 percent. It has no sulfites (which are preservatives found in other wines) that sometimes cause adverse reactions like hang-over and allergies. ''Tapuy'' is also not diluted with water and has no sugar added. The process of producing commercial ''tapuy'' starts with weighing and washing selected rice. Then, the rice is cooked, cooled and inoculated with a natural starter culture, locally known as ''bubod''. After that, a process of natural pre-fermentation and natural fermentation follows. Once the fermentation is completed, the fresh wine can be harvested and pasteurized. After the pasteurization, the rice wine is aged, filtered and clarified before bottling. Finally bottled rice wine is pasteurized once again before sealing.Traditions
Once a year during the ''Ipitik'' festival, rice wine brewers from all over the Mountain Province gather together to bring their best rice wine concoctions. The one whole day of merrymaking is filled with wood-carving contests, art exhibits, and large cook-outs that aim to feed hundreds of people. There are gong players, mostly children who dance while playing a lively beat. Indeed, the ''tapuy'' rice wine is deeply rooted in one of the colorful and diverse cultures in the Philippines.''Rice Wine Technology Bulletin'', Philippine Rice Research Institute (2000)See also
