All drinking alcohols--spirits, wines or beers--contain a mixture of water and ethanol, which is the chemical name for what is considered drinking alcohol. Ethanol is the chemical that is reported as the percentage of alcohol by volume or the proof.
All drinking alcohols also contain different concentrations of cogeners, or coproducts of the fermentation process that is used to create the ethanol. These include various compounds produced by the yeast as waste and left over oils and flavors from the fruit and grains used. Yeast generally produces large amounts of CO2, which account for the bubbles found in some wines and beers. It also produces methanol and acetone, which gives harsh flavors to some spirits if they are not properly removed.
