Wine, But Not The Grape Kind?

Florida is famous for many things, mainly as one of the holiday hotspots of the United States. This state is home to the Theme Park city “Orlando”, and this is why it gets so many visitors. Florida receives more visitors a year than the whole of the United Kingdom and with so many attractions there is no wonder why. Disney world is the largest theme park in the world, but is not the only one in Florida. There are at least six main theme parks in Florida, Harry Potter being the latest addition to this bunch, based in Universal Studios!

What else is there in a smaller market that brings people to Florida. There is a lot to see in Florida, but did you know that it is also home to a place where wine is made from Oranges. Any fruit that wields the joys of sugar can be transformed into a wine or liquor.

You see when the Spanish came over to America they wanted to use Florida’s great climate to grow wine. The most commonly used fruit across the world to make wine is the grape (in various colours). However although the climate was well suited to the grape way of life, the soil wasn’t. In order for the grapes to flourish they needed the appropriate minerals in the soil, which wasn’t available here. Although relatively strong fruits, they couldn’t survive here. Using the grapes was no longer a possibility, and another fruit was needed in order to create the wine, something tougher.

The easiest and clearest option that they took was the Orange, a sturdy fruit that could be easily maintained. They can survive on a lot less than the grape can, and also have high sugar levels. There are orange grove wineries in Florida and are great for you to visit on your Florida holidays. USA holidays haven’t exactly blossomed because of the Orange wines, but they should be visited, maybe even if you are on a Fly Drive USA tour!
