The primary component of alcohol is ethanol. It is produced through a process of saccharification and fermentation of starch-containing plants, followed by distillation, akin to winemaking. However, the distillation temperature is lower and the number of distillations higher, resulting in a higher alcohol content and a higher yield of the final product. It contains more ethers and aldehydes than alcohol, making it undrinkable but safe for contact with the human body. It is a product made from plant raw materials.
