The present study was attempted for using the wild species present in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, the Western Ghats for wine production. A wild species Opuntia stricta has been identified as an alternative source of grapes for wine production. The results of the study report that the carbohydrate content (sugar and pectic substances) was higher in the fruits and it was comparable to that of grapes. The various kinds of minerals, vitamins and other nutrients are also found to be higher in this species. This enriched status of nutrients provide favourable environment for the fermentation of carbohydrates. The percentage of ethanol determined in the fruit of Opuntia stricta was also higher as in grapes. Further it has been observed that 30 days of incubation for fermentation is found to be optimum for higher alcohol production (1.8%). Hence, Opuntia stricta can be served as prominent source for wine making.
