Spirits wines are classified according to the kind of fermenting material that
is used in the process of fermentation and distillation.
To know more about the classification of spirits, here is a list that can help you out:
1. Brandy
This is a type of spirit that is made from
"fermented" grape sap. The alcohol contents of brandy
are generated from a meticulous distillation process
of grape juices, mostly from wines.
2. Gin, Vodka, etc.
These spirits are generated from distilled beers
that are naturally made from grains.
3. "Fortified wines"
These are special kinds of spirits made from a combination of "fermented wine"
and extracted spirits, which are, more often than not brandy.
These are just a few of the many classifications of spirits. They may differ
from the kinds of materials that they have originated from but they are all
extracted and distilled to produce alcohol. That is why they are known as
spirits.
