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%.
Usually by distillation of impure alcohol. In many places it is illegal to make alcohol without a licence.
Whiskey is made from water, yeast, and barley. It then has to go through the fermenting and distilling processes that make alcohol.
Because alcohol by it's distilling process is mainly sugar.
No. However distilling your own alcohol is a federal offense.

Boiling a fermented liquid and then condensing and capturing the alcohol as it cools.
You can separate alcohol and water content as alcohol boils at 78 degrees C, and water at 100. The alcohol distilled off is far purer than is in say the 40% original spirit.
No. It increases the concentration in a method known as "freeze distilling".
Brandy is known as a spirit, and that comes from distilling wine. The alcohol content is around 35 - 60 percent.
Your question doesn't make sense, as alcohol is a compound which is made through fermentation. It is not 'used' in vodka, the alcohol is created during the fermentation process involved in making the Vodka. Vodka is made by fermenting and distilling potato juice.
Because more water is removed from the solution.
An aqua vitae is an aqueous solution of alcohol typically prepared by distilling wine.
