Document Summary
In canadian beer the primary grain is barley: he lower sugar content of these grain-based beverages results in somewhat lower alcohol content: the typical canadian commercial beer contains about 5% alcohol. Its guidelines are fairly loose; spirits advertisements appear during prime time and are not confined to late-night television. However, before 1996 it too limited advertising for any liquor containing more than 7% alcohol by volume: proof: a measure of alcohol content, twice the alcohol percentage. Typical distilled beverages sold commercially (whisky, vodka, gin, etc. ) range between 40% and 50% alcohol content. Wine: generics usually have names taken from european land areas where the original wines were produced: chablis, burgundy, and rhine are examples. Distilled spirits: today"s standard product from many large commercial distilleries is 95% pure ethyl alcohol, congeners: other alcohol and oils contained in alcholoic beverages, liqueours are about 20-25% alcohol.
