What is the name of the process that helps make beer and wine?
A
Fermentation
B
Alcoholic fermentation
C
Lactic acid fermentation
D
Glycolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alcoholic fermentation is the basis for the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. Control of fermentation is generally considered as a prerequisite to determine the quality of the final product.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcoholic fermentation is the anaerobic transformation of fructose and glucose (sugars) into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The process is conducted by yeasts and a few bacteria (Zymomonas mobilis).

Detailed explanation-4: -Firstly, and after the grapes and/or must have been placed in vats, a first fermentation takes place that is common to all wines. In this fermentation, the sugars of the grape start to turn into ethanol in an oxygen and temperature-controlled environment. This fermentation is known as “alcoholic fermentation”.

Detailed explanation-5: -Alcoholic Fermentation This type of fermentation is carried out by plants, yeasts and some bacteria. It is used to make bread, wine, and biofuels. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol and NAD+. The NAD+ allows glycolysis to continue making ATP.
