The wine consists of 70 to 90% pure water. The second largest proportion is ethanol (the type of alcohol with the largest proportion), which in turn contains a large proportion of water, with an alcohol content of 7 to 15% vol. depending on the type of wine; for special wines up to 20% vol. and more.
