7.2 Wine making

Due to French influences wine making in Liga started around the early 1870's. The vulcanic ground proved to be excellent for wine production. There are currently two main wine houses, called a chateau in the Port Salut region, and wyn huys in the Mohodver region.

Both parts produce excellent red wines, who steadly gain foothold in the international wine communities. The Port Salut region, represented by the Vins Du Port Salut chateau, produces exclusive wines, with a limited production, but of excellent taste. The Mohodver region chateau, called Die Goeie Wyn produces also good wine, but more affordable, and less prestige.

Liga has established in the 1990's a control mechanismn to provide quality assurance. Its been named the Appelation d'controle de Liga, or ACL. All ACL wines are of extreme high standards.
