The study was focused on the fermentative production and optimization of wine from
different vegetables. Wine can act as a nutrient supplement for seasonal fruits and
vegetables throughout the year. Fermentation is carried out by Saccharomyces service
known as wine yeast. After the fermentation, the wines were analyzed for pH, titrable
acidity, specific gravity, alcohol and total sugar. The comparison of final analysis of
homemade wine with commercial wine was made. Beetroot, Carrot, Ginger, and
vegetable mix are a valuable vegetable and rich in nutrition. The quality of wine depends
upon the compositions of the juice and fermentation conditions. It also observed that total
bacterial count, sugar and titrable acidity. Sensory evaluation revealed aroma and the
overall improved quality of the wine. The overall maximum alcohol content
(13.13±0.13) %ABV of wine was produced by optimized vegetable mixture (carrot:
Beetroot: Ginger =10:10:80%), pH 3.89, and yeast inoculum concentration of 0.2%.
Finally the vegetable mix wine Beetroot-ginger-Carrot wine were analyzed at the
optimized point. And the Specific gravity, TA, TSS, antioxidant activity, phenolic
content, yeast count and overall acceptability were, 0.991, 5.625, 8.0± 0.14, 27.42, 0.652,
2.1x10

cfu/ml and 8.1± 0.90 respectively. This study concluded that the result to develop
a small scale wine industry. All the vegetables are suitable substrate for wine production.
It can be scaled up to industrial level.
