Non-distilled beverages like beer, wine, cider and sake are produced through fermentation using microorganisms like yeast. Beer is made from barley, hops, water and sometimes sugars and undergoes a brewing process involving bottom or top fermenting. Sake is a rice-based beverage traditionally made in Japan through polishing, soaking, steaming and fermenting rice with the Aspergillus mold and yeast. Cider is produced from apples through washing, crushing, pressing, fermenting and sometimes flavoring. Moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages like red wine has been linked to potential heart health benefits due to antioxidants, while heavy drinking increases heart disease risk.
