I don't do Alcohol because of my religious beliefs.Sobriety
I am sober too, not for religious reasons. I just prefer to not have any measurable levels or effects from alcohol.
So what is alcohol made of?
Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that is the active ingredient in beer, wine, and hard liquor. The chemical name is ethanol.
You mean ethanol is the reason why one gets drunk?
Yes. Ethanol is naturally produced by sugars or yeasts fermenting.
So what other components of a strong wine apart from the ones mentioned?
A higher level of alcohol can be achieved by having more sugar in the grapes. Some winemakers actually stop fermentation early to leave some residual sugars and sweetness. Yum!
