Alcoholic Beverage Varieties - TSV
Alcoholic beverages are broadly classified into three categories based on production methods: brewed beverages, distilled spirits, and mixed beverages. Brewed beverages are made by fermenting raw materials, including beer, wine, and sake. Distilled spirits are produced by distilling brewed beverages to increase alcohol content, such as whiskey, shochu, gin, vodka, rum, and tequila. Mixed beverages are created by adding fruits or flavorings to brewed or distilled beverages, including liqueurs and plum wine. While classification methods vary by country based on liquor tax laws and culture, this production-based categorization is widely used internationally.
