In terms of percent whiskey has more alcohol than wine?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Alcohol content is normally quoted by volume in beers, wines and spirits. There is no fixed rule as to what the quantity must be although many production regions have a range which must be adhered to. The alcohol content must also be tested and proved since duty is payable by the producer on every drop they make and is based upon alcohol content.

A typical wine would have an alcohol by volume content of 13-14%. A typical whisky (or whiskey which is the accepted spelling for Irish brands) is much higher and can be as much as 70%.
