Question

Maximum percentage of alcohol is present in which of the following product of yeast fermentation?

• A. Brandy
• B. Gin
• C. Rum
• D. Wine

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rum

Alcoholic beverages have three categories: wine, beer and distilled liquors. Beer is produced by the fermentation of grains which produces only about 3-6% alcohol. Wine is produced by the fermentation of fruit and produces wine with an alcohol content of 6-14%. A distilled beverage, spirit, liquor or hard liquor is an alcoholic beverage produced by distillation of a mixture produced from alcoholic fermentation. This process purifies it and removes diluting components like water, for the purpose of increasing its proportion of alcohol content. Brandy a spirit, is distinct as a drink from wine (due to distillation), and has a 35% of alcohol content. Other examples of common distilled beverages include vodka, gin, tequila, rum, whisky.

Rum - 37.5%-80%, Brandy - 35%-60% (usually 40%), Vodka - 35%-50%. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
