WineEditSee also: Wine and healthWine is a fermented beverage produced from grapes. Wine involves a longer fermentation process than beer and also a long aging process (months or years), resulting in an alcohol content of 9%–16% ABV. Sparkling wine can be made by means of a secondary fermentation."Fruit wines" are made from fruits other than grapes, such as plums, cherries, or apples. Sake is a popular example of "rice wine".BeerEditSee also: Beer styles and List of beer stylesBeer is a beverage fermented from grain mash. It is made from barley or a blend of several grains.
