Tapuy, also spelled tapuey or tapey, is a rice wine produced in the Philippines. It is a traditional beverage originated from Banaue and Mountain Province, where it is used for important occasions such as weddings, rice harvesting ceremonies, fiestas and cultural fairs. It is produced from either pure glutinous rice or a combination of glutinous and non-glutinous rice together with onuad[2] roots, ginger extract, and a powdered starter culture locally known as bubod.[3] Tapuy is an Ilocano name. The wine is more commonly called baya or bayah in Igorot languages.[4]
