The type of alcohol in beverages such as wine and beer is :

  • A.Ethyl alcohol (Ethanol)
  • B.Isopropyl alcohol (Isopropanol)
  • C.Methyl alcohol (Methanol)
  • D.Propyl alcohol (Propanol)

Answer: A

The alcohol in wine and beer is ethyl alcohol (ethanol).

Ethanol, C2H5OH, is produced when yeast ferments the sugars of grapes or malted grain; it is the only alcohol fit to drink in beverage amounts.

Isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol, used as an antiseptic and solvent. Methyl alcohol (methanol) is the poisonous wood alcohol that causes blindness and death in illicit liquor. Propyl alcohol is an industrial solvent. None of them is the intended alcohol of a beverage.
