About Korenwijn

Korenwijn is a traditional Dutch distilled spirit with origins dating back to the early distilling practices of the Low Countries. Korenwijn roughly translates to 'corn wine,' as it is predominantly made from malted barley, corn, rye, and other grains, and is closely associated with the culture and cuisine of the Netherlands. It is a variant of genever but is often smoother due to higher percentages of malt wine, making it a cherished beverage in Dutch traditions. Nutritionally, korenwijn contains 233 calories per serving, with no significant amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, or minerals, as it is an alcoholic beverage primarily composed of ethanol and water.

Health Benefits

• Korenwijn, like other moderate alcoholic beverages, may support cardiovascular health when consumed responsibly, similar to red wine (due to its ethanol content).
• The distilled nature of korenwijn means it is free from residual sugars, which may be beneficial for individuals monitoring sugar intake.
• Ethanol, in small amounts, can have relaxing effects on the central nervous system, potentially reducing stress in low-to-moderate consumption.
