Wine and beer production converts sugar to alcohol without distilling. However, the yeast that performs this process will die off at high alcohol levels, the reason it is difficult to produce any beer or wine with more than a 20% alcohol content. Nearly all alcohol product that has a higher percentage is distilled, but there are exceptions using special processes to get close to 30%.
