Neutral spirit is legally defined as spirit distilled from any material distilled at or above 95% ABV (190 US proof) and bottled at or above 40% ABV. [5] When the term is used in an informal context rather than as a term of U.S. law, any distilled spirit of high alcohol purity (e.g., 170 proof or higher) that does not contain added flavoring may be referred to as neutral alcohol.

Rectified spirit, also called "neutral grain spirit", is alcohol which has been purified by means of "rectification" (i.e. repeated distillation). The term neutral refers to the spirit's lack of flavor that would have been present if the mash ingredients had been distilled to a lower level of alcoholic purity.
Fortified wine is a wine to which a distilled spirit, usually brandy, has been added. [1] In the course of some centuries, [ 2 ] winemakers have developed many different styles of fortified wine, including port , sherry , madeira , Marsala , Commandaria wine , and the aromatised wine vermouth .
