fermented beverages
Yeast-transformed liquid refreshments
Fermented beverages are drinks produced through fermentation—the process by which yeast or bacteria convert sugars into alcohol or acids.
Beer, wine, cider, mead, and kombucha are all fermented beverages.
The term often appears in legal or regulatory contexts to distinguish these drinks from distilled spirits: The license covers fermented beverages only, not liquor.
