The primary component of alcohol is ethanol, and it is produced through a process similar to brewing, involving the saccharification and fermentation of starch-containing plants, followed by distillation. The distillation temperature is lower than that for wine, but the number of distillation cycles is higher, resulting in a higher alcohol content and a higher yield of finished product. It contains more ether and aldehyde components than wine, making it non-drinkable, but suitable for contact with the human body. It is a product made from plant raw materials.
