Persimmon wine has various nutritional elements and high commercial potential. However, the high content of methanol, which is derived from the fruit&rsquo:s pectin, always hinders persimmon wine production. To reduce the methanol level in the wine, the effects of persimmon cultivar, starter, pectinase, and pretreatment methods were investigated via single-factor and orthogonal experiments. The persimmon cultivar &lsquo:MaoKui&rsquo: was finally used throughout the study owing to its lowest pectin concentration (24.5 g/kg). The best treatment conditions against the persimmon pulp were pectinase (0.04 g/kg) at 30 °:C for 4 h, then boiled at 115 °:C for 15 min before fermentation started. The optimized fermentation conditions for wine production were pectinase (0.03 g/kg), 250 mg/kg starter (BO213 and SPARK with equal amounts), at 28 °:C for 6 d. The obtained wine had 77.7 mg/L methanol and a 68.4% raw juice yield. The fruit wine had 111.4 mg/L methanol and a 90.6 sensory evaluation score. Forty-nine volatile aromas were identified. Ethyl acetate content was the highest, followed by 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2,3-butanediol, and lactate ethyl ester. The persimmon wine had a unique style with transparent color, elegant aroma, and pure taste.
