I think you need to ask for 'American' type flour.
No sugar.

I'm sure yeasts are easily available.

First stop...ask at a good bakery. :)

3-4 lbs fresh mango
2-1/2 lbs finely granulated sugar
7-1/4 pts water
1-1/2 tsp acid blend:Erm:??
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme:Erm:?
1 tsp yeast nutrient:Erm:?
1/4 tsp tannin:Erm:?
Montrachet or Champagne wine yeast.. (Bread yeast nalang:xxgrinning--00xx3:)

Also a mate of mine makes wine in Malaysia... He reckons you can use a balloon with holes in for an airlock..:xxgrinning--00xx3:
