Mai Ha wine is exclusively produced in Mai Ha commune. The most special feature of Mai Ha wine is that the yeast is made by locals’ own method with many stages. Many kinds of precious ingredients and herbs are produced locally following the secrets of families passed on to their descendants to create a unique flavour that is not found in any wine made in other places.
Mai Ha wine product has been granted intellectual property protection certificate by the National Office of Intellectual Property.
The People’s Committee of Mai Chau has built a set of criteria for identifying distinctive quality of the product, along with trademark design, a set of regulations on management and development of Mai Ha wine trademark, and plans and strategies to promote and sell the product through distribution channels with identification and traceability system, in order to establish a mechanism to protect, manage and use the "Mai Ha wine” trademark, thus ensuring the quality control and trade promotion for the product.
Statistics showed that currently, 45 local households in Mai Ha engage in wine production, mostly in Chieng craft village where 30 producers are residing. Each month, the households produce nearly 2,000 litres of wine to sell in Hanoi and some neighbouring provinces. Notably, Mai Ha wine produced by some facilities has been recognised as a three-star OCOP (One Commune-One Produce) product.
