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

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 collide, causing fermentation to begin. Fermentation takes place in the absence of oxygen in anaerobic circumstances. During fermentation, carbon dioxide is emitted.
