Production of alcohol from glucose (fermentation):
CHO 2CHCHOH + 2CO
This way, only about 13-15% of alcohol can be produced because the yeast, that is responsible for fermentation, can no longer survive those conditions. In order to get higher percentage of alcohol, process of distillation is the only way to to that.
