The primary component of alcohol is ethanol, and it is produced through a process of starch-based plant saccharification, fermentation, and distillation, akin to winemaking. However, it has a lower distillation temperature and more distillations than wine, 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 derived from plant raw materials.
