Alcohol in small quantities will form in decaying fruit and some other substances, but since it is very volatile it evaporates almost a* fa*t a* it i* formed. To produce alcohol in drinkable quantities, fruit juice or some similar liquid is placed in a comparative!) deep dish, so that the ir*a exjHjsed to the air is small, as compared to the volume of liquid. I bis delays evaioration. Therefore, until man had advanced to the st?gc when he made and used dishes, wine and Hrong drink were unknown.
