However, in 1990, he successfully separated impurities in coconut water, obtained fine coconut water. For four more years, he successfully distilled alcohol from coconut water . Distilled 300 liters of alcohol every 300 liters.

The coconut wine he created has a slight aroma of coconut, cognac lines. Coconut wine is characterized by drunkenness that does not cause headaches (due to the removal of furfuol, aldehit); There are three types: 30, 35 and 39 degrees. The price is also ' soft ', only 10,000 VND can be bought a bottle of coconut wine 175 ml.
