A traditional Kenyan wine has found its way to major retailers in the United Kingdom. Muratina is a sweet-sour alcoholic beverage that is obtained by fermentation and is one of the traditional Kenyan beverages, which have considerable social, cultural and economic significance. It is brewed alongside other traditional beverages such as busaa, changaa, and miti. In a tweet on Monday, Kenya’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Manoah Esipisu, said the product is bottled in the UK by Othaya-born businessman King'ori Wambaki. “Now available on UK supermarket shelves is the Central Kenya traditional alcoholic drink 'Muratina', bottled in the UK by Othaya-born businessman King'ori Wambaki, now of Cheshunt, north of London, who is targeting expansion of Kenyan products in the market,” Esipisu said.
