Definitions[edit]Fermented beverages |
Beer: In general, a
beverage fermented from a grain mash will be called a beer.
Beer is made from barley or a blend of
several grains. If the fermented mash is distilled, then the beverage is a spirit.
Wine and brandy are usually made from grapes but
when they are made from another kind of fruit, they are distinguished as fruit wine or fruit brandy. The kind of fruit must be
specified, such as "cherry brandy" or "plum wine."
Whiskey (or whisky) is made from grain or
a blend of several grains. The type of whiskey (scotch, rye, bourbon, or corn) is determined by the primary grain.
Vodka: Vodka is
distilled from fermented grain. It is highly distilled so that it will contain
less of the flavor of its base material. Gin is
a similar distillate but
it is flavored by juniper berries and
sometimes by other herbs as well. Applejack is
sometimes made by means offreeze distillation.
Cider: In the United
States and Canada, cider often means unfermented apple juice(sometimes called sweet
cider), and fermented apple juice is called hard
cider. In the United Kingdom and Australia, cider refers
to the alcoholic beverage.
