Wine and spirit categories

Wine and spirits are categories of alcoholic beverages distinguished by ingredients and production methods. Wine is made mainly from fermented grapes, with varieties like red, white, and rosé. Spirits, or distilled drinks, are produced by fermenting ingredients like grains, fruit, or sugar, then distilling the liquid to increase alcohol content. Common spirits include vodka, whiskey, rum, gin, and brandy. Wines tend to have lower alcohol levels and are enjoyed for their flavor profiles, while spirits are typically stronger and used in cocktails or sipped neat. Both categories showcase diverse flavors and craftsmanship, reflecting cultural and regional traditions.
