    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.

    There ya go

    http://www.ehow.com/how_6132610_acti...king-wine.html

    Here`s a recipe for mango wine but too many ingredients that I dont have a clue about!!
    I wonder if they are necessary?

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

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