Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

Which among the following alcoholic beverage will be formed by distillation?

A

Brandy

B

Wine

C

Beer

D

All

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Brandy is produced through the distillation of fermented fruit juice, typically grapes, which concentrates the alcohol content (C₂H₅OH) and flavors while removing water (H₂O) and other components. In contrast, wine is simply fermented grape juice and does not undergo distillation, while beer is brewed through fermentation of grains and also does not involve distillation. Thus, only brandy is formed by the distillation process, which increases its alcohol concentration and enhances its flavor profile.
