Take the sugar level at time of harvest and times it by .55 to get the alcohol level. 24 brix of sugar equals 13.2%. So the higher the sugar the higher the alcohol. This is why some Zinfandel will have a higher alcohol level do to the fact that they can easily reach 29-31 brix.
Wine uses the natural sugar in the grapes. Other types of alcohol requires some type of added sugar.
No grapes survive fermentation. Yeast (which produces fermentation) eats the sugars in the grapes, producing alcohol.
Not normally. They contain a great deal of sugar. It is possible that 'fox grapes' will occur. A hard frost will damage the grape and yeast will get into it and start the fermentation process. This can cause the grapes to have an alcohol content.
Yes. Brandy is a distilled spirit made from grapes and is often around 40% alcohol.
If you mean, what makes alcohol in wine? It's simple - sugar in grapes. During fermentation, sugar in the grapes turns into alcohol.
The main ingredients in making wine are grapes, yeast, and water. Grapes provide the sugar needed for fermentation by the yeast, which converts the sugar into alcohol. Water is used to dilute the grape juice and adjust the final alcohol content of the wine.
Inverted brix is a term used in winemaking to measure the concentration of sugar in grapes or grape juice. It represents the amount of sugar content that will be converted into alcohol during fermentation. Higher inverted brix values indicate higher sugar levels and can influence the resulting alcohol content of the wine.
The smaller bunch has 24 grapes.
Vine is the plant on which grapes grow. Wine is the alcohol drink produced from the grapes that grow on the vine.

Yeast consume the sugars in the grapes and their waste is ethanol.
They let them ferment. Here is an article about it: http://www.cheresources.com/winezz.shtml
