In Islam, all Alcoholic Beverages are haram. In the Qur'an, it says:

"They ask Thee concerning Wine and Gambling, Say: In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." (2:219)

Allah tells us in this ayah that the risks of alcohol are much greater than the gains, and Allah knows best. Allah says to us in another ayah in the Qur'an:

O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them, that you may succeed.The devil wants to provoke animosity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to distract you from remembering GOD, and from observing the Contact Prayers (Salat). Will you then refrain? (5:90-91)

These ayahs tell us clearly that Allah has banned alcohol consumption, meaning that this is haram.

It is wise to note that the Alevi, a sect of Shi'a Islam, believe in an allegorical interpretation of the Qur'an, and they allow the consumption of alcohol, which is haram.
