Plum wine is an infusion of plums steeped in distilled spirits over a long period of time. The main ingredients are plums, rock sugar and maltose. So many people like to drink plum wine, is it because of its effects? The following is a careful collection of the effects of plum wine. Let’s take a look.
Antibacterial
Plum wine is also effective against enteric pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, Bacillus deformans, typhoid and paratyphoid, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio cholerae. Its ethanol extract has obvious antibacterial effect on some Gram-positive bacteria, negative bacteria and human Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Ume plum soup has been shown to inhibit pathogenic skin fungi such as tinea cruris, tinea floccosa, and Bacillus cereus in the test tube.
Refreshing and anti-aging
It has a sour and sweet taste. When consumed, it stimulates the salivary glands to secrete more parotid hormones. Parotid hormones promote metabolism, slow down aging, make women rosy and shiny, and rejuvenate skin tissues and blood vessels. Its obvious “rejuvenating” effect is often called “rejuvenation”. In addition, the polyphenols in plum wine can inhibit the accumulation of fat in the body, which has a beautifying and shaping effect on the body.
Appetizing and anti-allergic
Humid and hot summers inevitably make it difficult to open the appetite and make people prone to diarrhea, rashes and other allergic symptoms. The plum acid in plums can increase appetite, promote saliva secretion, improve gastrointestinal function, thus helping digestion and absorption of food, especially calcium absorption, enhance physical fitness, normalize body immune function and improve allergies. A glass of plum wine before meals can make a person’s appetite and help digestion.
Although plums are acidic, most of them are alkaline substances. They are known as the “alkaline king”. They are effective in regulating the body’s pH level, fighting bacteria and germs, reducing diarrhea and skin allergies.
Rheumatic pain
Take a few doses or rub the affected area with wine.
Anti-allergy
Cools the body, relieves the heat, stimulates the body, and fights protein allergies.
Method 1
Ingredients.
1、Recipe: green plums (medium-ripe), rock sugar or honey, malt powder, yellow wine or Bao Gu wine.
2. Proportion: 100 kg of 45 degree yellow wine or Bao Gu wine for example, 25-35 kg of 8-9 times ripe plums
22-25 kg of rock sugar or honey, and 4 taels of malt powder. (If the raw materials are less or more, you can calculate according to a certain ratio, the ratio should not be too different, otherwise the quality of wine is not stable and the quality of plum wine may not be good)
Operation.
1、Wash the plums and dry them well.
2、Put the plums, rock sugar or honey into a sterilized earthen altar (followed by a glass altar), and then pour in 45 degree yellow wine or Pao Gu wine to seal it.
3、After 4 months, you can open and drink it.
4、Add sugar and honey at one time, and finally add malt powder.
5、After opening, use a shovel to mix and seal the plastic (not iron or copper or aluminum, which will oxidize and affect the quality of the wine), then let it sit and sink (about 36 hours).
Open the seal and place a cotton towel (it must be cotton) over the mouth of another earthen altar. The mouth of the altar is solid and the neck of the altar is tied with a rope. The wine is poured from the original earthen jar into the jar with a plastic spoon (not iron or aluminum, which will oxidize and affect the quality of the wine) and wrapped in a cotton towel (the towel is mainly used to filter the plum pulp fibers and heavy objects). After filtering, the wine is sealed and left to stand for about 36 hours. Open the jar and take out the delicious plum wine that is crystal clear, sweet and refreshing. Remember to take out some of the wine. If there is any wine left in the jar, you must reseal it, otherwise the quality of the wine will be greatly reduced. If sealed, the longer you leave it, the better the quality of the wine will be.
Method 2
Natural fermented plum wine
Ingredients: 7 kg of ripe plums, 10 kg of honey, 5 kg of sugar, 5 kg of filtered water, 2 two forged oysters or 40 g of calcium carbonate.
Operation.
1. Gently rinse the plums with water once. Then install a bamboo sieve and place in a cool, ventilated place for 8 days (about 3-4 days).
2. Put them into a clean kimchi jar, put the forged oysters in the bottom, then add the plums, honey and filtered water.
3. Ferment for 4-5 days at about 30°C. Add 2 kg of sugar for the first time.
4. After 1 week of continuous fermentation, add 2 kg of sugar for the second time.
5. After 2 weeks of fermentation, add 1 kg of sugar.
6. Transfer to indoor temperature below 30℃, continue fermentation and aging for 3 months, then open the lid and bottle for drinking.
Note: All ingredients should not occupy more than 80% of the capacity of the jar. During the fermentation process, the liquid in the jar will swell and overflow.
Features: Using pure plum honey as the key difficulty, solving the technical problem that the plum is too acidic to start fermentation, not only solves the fermentation problem, but also increases the flavor and nutritional value of plum wine. There is no need to fool consumers with plums soaked in white wine.
When you feel tired or lazy in the summer, a glass of cold plum wine can banish boredom and clear your head.
Regulates gastrointestinal function
According to the ancient medical text “Materia Medica”, plums are known for their salivary, appetizing, heart-clearing and sleep-supporting properties. Plum wine is rich in a variety of organic acids, amino acids, minerals and other beneficial ingredients that help improve indigestion and loss of appetite. A glass of plum wine before bedtime can promote blood circulation, cool the body, relieve mental stress and let you sleep until morning. People who drink too much can drink some hot water, which is also very effective.

Health benefits
With the increase of acidity and dizziness, the symptoms of insomnia and dizziness will continue to increase. Plums are a very alkaline food. Plum wine made from plums is effective in regulating the body’s acid-alkaline balance and maintaining human health.
Cosmetic effects
Plum wine promotes the formation and secretion of parotid hormones in the salivary glands. Parotid hormones, also known as “youth hormones,” have a beautifying and muscle-strengthening effect. Nutritional richness: Plum wine absorbs all the nutrients in plums (some nutrients in plums cannot be absorbed raw, but can be absorbed through plum wine because the nutrients are completely dissolved in the wine) and is rich in vitamins and amino acids. Nutritionists say that plum wine has higher nutritional value and better health benefits than white wine and beer. Plum wine can be used as a beauty solution when the skin becomes rough due to dryness and exposure. Use a cotton pad or gauze dipped in some unsweetened plum wine and put it on the skin to make it smooth again. The effect is even better after a bath.
