Fresh rice reported high alcohol recovery. The use of soft water, low with iron and magnesium through out the fermentation process improved the wine quality.Different amino acids such as alanine, serine, glycine, leucine, histidine, glutamic acid, phenyanaline, proline, cystine and isoleucine present in the wine enhanced the quality of wine.
