Vino Kulafu

Vino Kulafu is a legendary Chinese-style medicinal wine (herb-infused wine) that has been a staple in the Philippine market, particularly in the Visayas and Mindanao regions, for decades. Produced by Ginebra San Miguel, it is crafted from a secret blend of traditional Chinese herbs including Lian Kiao, Kung Tsau, and Toa Tiong, which are believed to provide health benefits like improved stamina and blood circulation. With an alcohol content of 23% ABV (46 Proof), it has a distinct dark color and a strong, bitter-sweet herbal aroma. While it is often marketed as a "health tonic" for hardworking Filipinos, it is most commonly consumed as an affordable "hard" drink, typically enjoyed neat in small shots or mixed with condensed milk for a smoother finish.
