I have experimented with making apple wine from bottled apple juice, sugar, bread yeast only ingredients. It turned out pretty decent. Well I've been making turmeric tinctures with fresh roots and vodka for the anti-inflammatory properties Thanks to the Ukraine / Russia war, my state has banned my preferred brand of vodka. So, I was wondering if I was able to make turmeric wine and if it would retain the medical benefits? Another question would be, could I use a ginger wine recipe, but substitute turmeric for the ginger? Thanks

Turmeric flavor is kind of... like dirt. I don't mean that in a nasty way; just that it is not at all the kind of flavor that goes with wine. It is great in Indian dishes but I think of wine flavors as sort of clean, bright, and clear, if that makes sense.
I suggest getting the turmeric in food rather than wine.
Or try something like a nocino (although I make mine with vodka so back to the same problem).
Or maybe add it to limoncello? The intense lemon flavor may play well with the turmeric? I use Everclear for my recipe so that gets around your vodka challenge.
