Cacao wine was produced during the formative stage of the Olmec Culture (1100–900 BC). Evidence from Puerto Escondido indicates that a weak alcoholic beverage (up to 5% alcohol by volume) was made from fermented cacao pulp and stored in pottery containers. [45] [46] In addition:
The concentration of alcohol in a beverage is usually stated as the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV, the number of milliliters (ml) of pure ethanol in 100 ml of beverage) or as proof. In the United States, proof is twice the percentage of alcohol by volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (e.g. 80 proof = 40% ABV).
The first step results in "low wine", a liquid with an alcohol content between 20 and 40%. [29] The second step results in the final distillate with an alcohol content of 60 to 90%. It is generally diluted to between 33% and 50% alcohol by volume (ABV) or 66 to 100 proof. The entire distillation process is completed within 24 hours.
Wine was shipped in barrels of 119 litres (31 US gal; 26 imp gal). A barrel of oil, defined as 42 US gallons (35 imp gal; 160 L), is still used as a measure of volume for oil, although oil is no longer shipped in barrels. The barrel has also come into use as a generic term for a wooden cask of any size.
Within the European Union, the term "wine" and its equivalents in other languages is reserved exclusively for the fermented juice of grapes. [4]In the United States, the term is also used for the fermented juice of any fruit [5] or agricultural product, provided that it has an alcohol content of 7 to 24% (alcohol by volume) and is intended for non-industrial use.

Prior to the early 1970s, all grapes had to be from the vintage year. Additionally, all labels must list the alcohol content based on percentage by volume, state that the wine contains sulfites, and carry the Surgeon General's warning about alcohol consumption. [26]
Four Loko's seltzers have the highest alcohol content at 12% with Mighty Swell next at 5%. Michelob Ultra and Press spiked seltzer are both 4% ABV. Michelob Ultra has a line of organic hard seltzers.
However, he came back to Harran and died there in 598 AH/1202 AD. [1] He is the author of a lost history of Harran [2] and compiled poems. [3] There were many scholars who listened and reported hadiths from Hammad al-Harrani during his stay in Alexandria and after he returned to Harran; among them were Ibn al-Hajib (570-646 AH) and Ahmad al ...
