SOME FACTS ABOUT LIQUOR

1. Liquor is a liquid intoxicant, deriving its intoxicating potency from the ethyl alcohol in it. Liquor can be divided into three broad categories, namely Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), Beer and Country Liquor. Hard liquors broadly have an alcohol content of and above 20% and denote Whisky, Rum, Brandy, the white spirits like Gin and Vodka and Soft liquors have a range of 4-20% of alcohol and include Beer, Cider, Wines and Liqueurs. Country liquor also comes within the definition of liquor.


2. Most liquor making starts with the process of fermentation, followed by brewing or distillation (latter in case of hard liquors) Raw material for fermentation usually differs from liquor to liquor and is corn or malt in case of Whisky, molasses in case of Rum and Country liquor, grapes in case of Brandies and Wines, any starchy substance for Gin and Vodka and barley for Beer. The raw material can also differ depending upon the availability in the area. Eventually it is the flavour that marks the liquor for its variety as well as quality.


3. In Indian markets most prominent segment of liquor consumed by the middle classes, is the Indian Made Foreign Liquor, which covers most liquor, barring beer and country liquor, and is available in glass or sometimes plastic bottles. Beer is also available in glasses filled through dedicated dispensing taps what is known as draught beer. Most Indian beer is Lager which can be stored for some time. and all of them use a herb, known as hops, for flavoring. Liquors from which sugar content has been chemically reduced are termed as "dry".

Champagne, generally a ceremonial drink, also known as sparking wine, is generally off-white and is fizzy because of its carbonation at the time of bottling.
