469_ART255_1_V.pdf. Vocabulaire divers. Wine. Wine is a psychoactive drug, as are all alcoholic beverages,[2] commonly used for its intoxicating effects today and throughout history.
The psychoactive effects of wine are evident at the normal serving size.[3][4] Wines made from produce besides grapes are usually named after the product from which they are produced (for example, rice wine, pomegranate wine, apple wine and elderberry wine) and are generically called fruit wine. Alcohol proof. Alcohol proof is a measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in an alcoholic beverage.
The term was originally used in the United Kingdom and was defined as 7/4 times the alcohol by volume (ABV). The UK now uses the ABV standard instead of alcohol proof. In the United States, alcoholic proof is defined as twice the percentage of ABV. Abouriou - Hachette-vins.com : trouvez tous les mots du vin et leur définition sur le dictionnaire Hachette Vins.
