The solubility of alcohol in water depends upon the following factors:
(a) Hydrogen bonding: Alcohols form hydrogen bonding with water due to the presence of -OH group in alcohol and hence alcohols are soluble in water.

Commercially, ethanol (C2H5OH) is made by fermenting carbohydrates, which is the earliest process. In the presence of an enzyme called invertase, sugar in molasses, sugarcane, or fruits like grapes is transformed to glucose and fructose (both of which have the formula C6H12O6).
In the presence of another enzyme, zymase, present in yeast, glucose and fructose are fermented.
Grapes are used to make wine because they contain sugars and yeast. The amount of sugar in grapes increases as they ripen, and yeast forms on the outer peel. When grapes are crushed, sugar and enzymes c
