Alcohol Distillation

Alcohol distillation is a process used to separate alcohol from a mixture, typically fermented liquids like wine or beer. It works by heating the liquid until the alcohol—which has a lower boiling point than water—evaporates. The alcohol vapors are then captured and cooled in a condenser, where they turn back into liquid form. This process concentrates the alcohol content and removes impurities. Distillation is essential in producing spirits like whiskey, vodka, and rum, allowing producers to control the strength and purity of the final product.
