| | Alcoholic proof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alcohol is produced by yeast during the process of fermentation. | | | Stronger liquors are distilled after fermentation is complete to separate the alcoholic liquid from the remains of the grain, fruit, or whatever it was made from. | | | The catch is that water and alcohol form a mixture (called an azeotrope) that has a lower boiling point than either one of them, so what distills off first is that mixture that is 95% alcohol and 5% water. |

| | In Ontario, beer is fermented to contain about 5% alcohol by volume (or 3.5% in light beer). | | | Beverage alcohol (scientifically known as ethyl alcohol, or ethanol) is produced by fermenting or distilling various fruits, vegetables, or grains. | | | Most wine is fermented to have between 10% and 14% alcohol content; however, such fortified wines as sherry, port, and vermouth contain between 14% and 20%. |
