The fermentation time can take from 3 to 5 days; when you see bubbles rising to the surface, then the dragon fruit has fermented.
After the fermentation period, you can strain out some of the dragon fruit solids to extract the juice.

- During the fermentation process, if you see white cloudiness or mold on the surface, the wine may have gone bad.
