Dates Wine

This is an extremely tasty wine recope and I would like to name it as the queen of wines (next to grape of course) The natural flavour of dates gives the wine a delicious taste and the clear royal colour makes it all the more appealing to our senses. It became undoubtedly the star of my this years wine recipes.
