When it comes to making an alcoholic beverage, the only thing they all have in common is that they’e fermented, except for Sake, which is a beverage unto its own. But after that, virtually everything else is different.
However, fermentation does not an alcoholic beverage make, because Chinese Dark Tea is also fermented, just like any alcoholic product, and has very little, if any, alcoholic content. That also can be said about other fermented products like Kefir, Kavass and Tepache, which only have about a 1% alcohol content. Good luck catching a buzz on any of those.
