How was ethanol discovered?

Ethanol was almost certainly originally discovered through the accidental fermentation of improperly stored fruit or grain. Corn (maize) was unknown to Europeans until around the 15th century, but it was obviously a type of grain, and everybody knew by then you could make ethanol out of grain, so "corn ethanol" wasn't really "discovered" so much as "something everyone assumed to be true turned out to actually be true."
