Alcoholic and Seasonal Beverages

Alcoholic beverages are generally divided into three classes: beers, wines, and spirits. All three contain ethanol, better known as, you guessed it, alcohol.

Of the three, beer is the oldest and most widely consumed, as well as the world's third most popular beverage after water and tea. Breweries worldwide use part art, part science in their attempts to provide highly trained palates with the perfect pale or brown ale, as well as good old-fashioned beer. 

 The same is true of wine and spirits. Qualitative differences are usually reflected in price.
