Glossary of Terms

Alcoholic fermentation is a process in which sugars are converted into cellular energy by using yeast and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products. Wine is produced by the fermentation of natural sugars, while beer, whiskey and vodka are produced by the fermentation of grain starches, germinating it, drying it and pulping it into mash.
