[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 648506, member: 38028"] For wines, beers ciders, the sugar is used by yeast, to produce the alcohol during the fermentation. Yeast is killed by alcohol, so when the concentration rises, the yeast dies, and the process stops. Depending on how much sugar is in the drink in the first place, the process can stop when the sugar runs out, when there is a small amount left, of with a lot left, it can also be stopped early, to leave more sugar in the finished drink, and a less strong drink. Sugar can also be added during the process to sweeten, or increase the final strength of the drink. With spirits, the alcohol is boiled off, and re condensed, after that, depending on the drink, sugars, honey, sweeteners, and other flavours can be added back in, and it can be matured in casks for example to add different flavours back in. The Jack Daniels for example, is processed through charcoal made from sugar maple to add flavour back in. [/QUOTE]
