How do you separate ethyl alcohol from a mixture?

First, place the beverage in a container that can be sealed (a flask would be perfect.) Connect this container to another that is submerged in ice water. It may be a good idea to attach a balloon to this apparatus to allow for the air expansion. Then heat up the container with the beverage in it until it starts simmering (don't make it boil rapidly because then you'll be creating water vapour.) In theory, the Ethanol will evaporate and go to the second container and then condense on the sides of the container. This process will undoubtfully ruin the taste of the wine or beer, but you'll have a very strong cleaning agent in the other container (that you should certainly not consider drinking!)
