Test Bank, Questions and Answers (All

Fermentation - answer-the production of alcohol from sugars through the action of
yeasts
Malt - answer-made from steeping grain in water until it sprouts, then slowly drying it out
so grain dies, but enzymes that were created survive;
Distillation - answer-the heated evaporation and condensing back into a liquid of alcohol
vapors to produce beverages with higher alcohol content
Proof - answer-measure of a beverage's alcohol content; double the amount of alcohol
percentage in a beverage
Ale - answer-uses top-fermenting yeasts at slightly warmer temperatures, shorter
fermentation time; more malt flavor/stronger taste
Lager - answer-bottom-fermenting yeasts at slightly cooler temperatures, slower
fermenting time; lighter taste
Generic wine - answer-usually have names taken from European land areas where the
original wines were produced; e.g. Chablis, Burgundy, Rhine; blended wines, using
whichever grapes are available
Varietal wine - answer-named after a variety of grape; by law, at least 51% of grapes
used must be named grape; e.g. Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel
Grain-neutral spirits - answer-clear liquid made from 95% pure ethanol and available
sugars
Gin - answer-beverage made by filtering grain-neutral spirits through juniper berries
then diluting with water
Vodka - answer-mixture of grain-neutral spirits and water, adjusted to proper proof
