The label on Vodka says that it is 40% ABV (alcohol by volume).  In comparison, red wine contains 10% ABV (alcohol by volume). From this information I can conclude that:  a. the potatoes from which vodka is made contain more carbohydrates to produce alcohol than do wine grapes  b. the yeast made to produce vodka must not be killed by concentrations of alcohol above 10-15% ABV  c. the alcohol in vodka is concentrated by distillation after fermentation  d. vodka is made by letting water evaporate after fermentation  e. vodka has fewer calories in 1.5 oz serving than a 6 oz serving of wine.
