Workers risk life for a drink… ArchipelaGold must
surely rank as the worlds most precious wine. The
unique fruit wine derived from fermentation of coconut
sap, which tastes more like a liquor than a wine, is
named Archipelagold, after its south pacific origin.
The Archipelago is a group of 7 thousand islands,
collectively known as the Philippines, and its
tropical climate supplies 25% of the worlds coconut
produce, of which this exciting and delicious Filipino
beverage is derived. The “mangangarit” or the agile
coconut sap collector for the production of
Archipelagold could easily make it to the short list
of extreme ways of earning a living. But for 58-year-
old Rolando Rubiales, who climbs at least 12-meter-
high coconut trees and balances himself as he crosses
bamboo bridges that connect the trees to each other to
collect the sap, the job is nothing extraordinary.
