The primary component of alcohol is ethanol, and it is produced through the process of starch-based plants being saccharified, fermented, and then distilled, akin to winemaking. However, the distillation temperature is lower than in wine, and the number of distillations is higher, resulting in a higher alcohol content and yield. The finished product 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.
