I know the people in the DR either drink beer, rum, whiskey or sweet table wine...Is there a market for fruit wines (peach, strawberry, blueberry, even honey) and if so would there be anyone I can meet with in October to refer me to any contacts?

They will drink it even if it tastes like motor oil, if the price is right.

Darn it, YOU OWE ME A CUP OF COFFEE AND A NEW KEYBOARD!!!!. Not to mention the unsanitary sight of THE COFFEE COMING OUT OF MY NOSE!!!!!. FUNNY SHI*T!!!.

So true. Even if those are "girlie" drinks, as long as it has some alcohol in it, it would be a hit..

There is a range of imported fruit-flavoured wines sold in the DR, I get the impression it is quite popular. No idea what make they are, though.

I have seen this at the supermarkets, but never seen anyone ordering them out at bars or restaurants here in Puerto Plata.
The fruity wines they have here are several, all from light wine, to more regular Italian wine.
The light ones are quite cheap, just something over 100 pesos.
Never saw them being ordered at bars/restaurants, and never been offered it at friends houses either.

One that appears to be popular is the classic wine "Night Train'"..vintage 2005.

I believe that the popularity of Night Train in the inner cities in the US is only eclipsed by Ripple. I haven't seen Ripple in the DR.

You also see lots of Manischewitz, another very sweet, very cheap wine.
