Bokbunjaju (복분자주; 覆盆子酒), also called bokbunja wine, is a Korean fruit wine made from wild and/or cultivated bokbunja (Korean black raspberry). It is produced in Gochang County, Jeollabuk-do, in Damyang, Jeollanam-do,[1] and in Jeju Island, South Korea .[2] It is made by fermenting berries with water.[3][4] Some varieties also contain rice and jicho herb.[5]
The wine is deep red in color and moderately sweet. It ranges between 15% and 19% alcohol by volume, depending on the brand.[6] It is believed to be healthful [7] and to promote male sexual stamina.[8]
Since 2008, South Korean scientists have searched for ways to utilize bokbunja seeds, which are a by-product of bokbunja ju production. The carbonized seeds can be used as potential adsorbent for industrial dye removal from wastewaters.[9]
