Alcohol production involves the fermentation process, where yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This process can occur in various raw materials, such as grapes for wine, grains for beer, or fruits for spirits. The type of raw material and fermentation conditions influence the flavor and alcohol content of the final product.
After fermentation, the alcohol may undergo distillation, especially in the production of spirits like vodka or whiskey. Distillation separates alcohol from other components, resulting in a higher concentration of alcohol. The final product is then often aged, flavored, or blended before being packaged for consumption.
