viinietanolista

Viinietanolista, scientifically known as ethanol or ethyl alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic fermented odor. It is the primary psychoactive component in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and spirits. Ethanol is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast, a process widely used in the production of alcoholic drinks and biofuels. In its purest form, it is a potent solvent and is used in various industrial applications, including disinfectants, cleaning agents, and as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemicals. The human body can metabolize ethanol, but excessive consumption can lead to intoxication, impaired judgment, and long-term health problems affecting the liver, brain, and cardiovascular system. Its presence in wine is a result of the natural conversion of grape sugars by yeast during the winemaking process. The concentration of ethanol in wine typically ranges from 5% to 15% by volume.
