  • Patent number: 11827868
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for producing a sparkling fruit liquor raw material, including: a sealed fermentation container for receiving a stock liquid in which a fruit juice-containing fruit raw material and yeast are mixed; and an extraction pipe having an extraction inlet disposed in the fermentation container and an extraction outlet disposed outside the fermentation container. The sparkling fruit liquor raw material is produced by undergoing a sparkling fruit liquor raw material production state St1 configured such that a stock liquid is charged in the fermentation container so that a top surface of the stock liquid is positioned higher than the extraction inlet, and a pressure of carbon dioxide gas generated as fermentation of the stock liquid proceeds is then used to continuously extract, from the fermentation container via the extraction pipe, the sparkling fruit liquor raw material produced as the stock liquid is fermented.
