Address to buy grape plants near Khon Kaen or Nam Phong?
Dear readers,
Does anyone know an address where I can buy grape plants, preferably near Khon Kaen or Nam Phong? They can be purchased online, but they are not allowed to be shipped to Thailand, probably due to possible contamination. That's why I'm looking for an address in Thailand.
I would like to try making my own white wine. On a small scale and certainly not to enter the market. It just seems like a fun hobby. And then you have to start somewhere. And if you don't have any grapes, it will soon end. There is a lot to be found on the internet for cultivation and processing and there are also experienced hobbyists who are willing to give advice. Now the plants.
By the way, there are vineyards of some size in Thailand, so it should be possible. And never tried = never result.
Regards,
Paul
If you want a good result, you have to live in a place where there are clear seasons. A grape needs a cold rest period to form good and tasty fruits. Because Thailand does not have the right Climategate (except for the north), many pesticides are used. I don't know where you live but hope it works out. A grape bush can also be grafted. Needs a little more patience but is possible. Good luck.
Hi Fenje,
There are already a few large wineries in Thailand. I found them on Google, so that should work. I live near Nam Phong, 45 km east of Khon Kaen, so quite north. Now we have the "cold" season with about 26 degrees, but according to my (not yet many years of) experience, it is still warm for this season this year. The local Thai agree with me. But, who doesn't dare.....
Due to the heat during the day, the grapes are harvested in the middle of the night. Know this because one of my colleagues' father is a co-owner of a vineyard and she occasionally asks people to help with harvesting.

You don't have to have grapes to make wine. I've done it with mangosteen, salak and dragon fruit.
You can also try for plants at Universities, for example Krathing above Chanthabruri.
Wine is also made on Koh Chang and it does not freeze there. By the way, South Africa doesn't have winters either.
why should it stop if you don't have grapes? I myself have been making wine for 30 years from all kinds of fruits from my own garden, between one hundred and one hundred and fifty liters a year. grow, but if you do, give these fruits a try. I never have failures and always a top drink that unfortunately is looked down upon by too many "connoisseurs". However, around November 1, a friend gave me a whole batch of white grapes from Overijse in Belgium (the best grapes in the world) and when I tasted it last week, it promised to be a top product. I even made a nice wine from carrots. I live in Thailand I would like to try it with pineapple. The spicier the fruit, the easier and tastier. It's not really a hobby for me but I just can't throw away my excess fruit. And easy. My recipe: one third of fruit one third sugar and one third water and NEVER use sulfates or sulfites or other stuff. I sometimes adjust this a bit with more fruit and less sugar. Drinkable after three months. I usually leave it in the dame-Jeanne and drain a few plastic recup bottles at a time. Recently found ten bottles of cherry wine from 1996 just before we moved. This one was in a glass bottle with a cork. Tasted sour but I mixed it with too sweet raspberry wine. tastier. I will have to miss this again when we are back in Thailand soon. I advise you to try with the fruit that you have at your disposal, you will be amazed.
What a nice piece! Also very positive and I like that very much. I'm going to go on the "grape path" first, but who knows it will be a different kind of wine. I never say never.
No, I absolutely do not want any chemical mess in the wine. But shouldn't yeast be added? Or will the juice ferment on its own? You see, I'm just a nerd!
Maybe you should first find out if making wine in Thailand is allowed. In any case, making beer is not allowed. Would wine be allowed?
Have a look at this link: http://www.homebrewthailand.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=81
No yeast needed, will simmer after 1 or 2 days with your warmth. Do add some sugar to get a better fermentation. I do freeze my fruit first. Simply because it is much easier to press afterwards and you get more juice .
Can also be grown from seed, seeds in water for a while. the seeds that float are not good, you can use the seeds that sink.
Thank you William.
Grapes are almost always for sale in Korat
In the way you describe you will have grape bushes in no time.
If only it were that simple…
You should not want plants of which you do not know the yield and from seed that is very uncertain.
We have two blue and 1 white grape plant in the garden (nakorn Ratchasima).
Been here for over 6 years.
1 time minuscule white small grapes seen.
The rest never had fruit…
