Whiskey definitely is made up of a larger percentage of alcohol that wine. Most hard liquor is at least 40% alcohol by volume, while wine is about 10% to 15% by volume. An 8 oz glass of wine would be about an ounce of alcohol, but an 8 oz glass of whiskey would be 3.2 oz of alcohol. This is why hard liquors are usually mixed with something else.
