Travel to Saigon: What in the world is banana wine?

To heck if I know. I had banana wine for the first time on this trip to Vietnam when Kyle Le took John and me to eat goat. My guess is it’s fermented banana juice. It was very mild with only a hint of banana. I personally prefer my alcohol more robust. Always happy to try new things, though.Our Vietnam trip was winding down, and the hubs and I tried to get in as much last-minute trying of new things as we could. From high-end sushi to goat breast and oxtail stew to comfort Japanese fare, we had all of it in one day, including a mid-afternoon massage.This is why I love Vietnam.
