Following

reports citing the health benefits provided by the high number of antioxidants in pomegranate fruit, two companies are now importing wine made from pomegranates into the US. Aiko Importers, in Charleston SC, imports Tree of Life pomegranate wine in a semi-sweet and semi-dry version from Armenia. A dessert-style from Rimon Winery in Israel and a dry and a port-style pomegranate wine (both kosher) are due to be imported into the US later this year or early in 2008 by Monterey-based Cannonball Wine & Spirits.
