Alcohol production primarily involves the fermentation process, where yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This process can occur in various raw materials, such as grains, fruits, or sugarcane, depending on the type of alcohol being produced. For example, beer is made from malted grains, while wine is produced from fermented grapes. After fermentation, the alcohol may undergo distillation to increase its concentration. This step is common in the production of spirits like whiskey and vodka. The final product is then aged, flavored, or blended to achieve the desired taste and quality before being packaged for consumption.
