| − | '''Spirits''' is a term used in Food and Wine nomenclature to denote a '''distilled beverage'''. It is a liquid preparation meant for consumption containing ethyl alcohol (ethanol) purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as fruit, vegetables, or grain. The word ''spirits'' generally refers to distilled beverages low in sugars and containing at least 35% alcohol by volume. Brandy, eau de vie, gin, rum, schnapps, tequila, vodka and whisky are types of spirits. Distilled beverages with added flavorings and a relatively high sugar content such as Grand Marnier, Frangelico and American style schnapps are generally referred to as liqueurs. The term ''liquor'' may mean spirits; spirits and liqueurs; or all alcoholic beverages, including [[Cookbook:Wine|wine]], sake, beer and mead.
