A website where you pick compatible wine or spirit production techniques and it calculates the resulting alcohol and sugar contents so that you can mix and match them but still have some idea of the outcome.

Example

  1. Fermentation - Inputs; water, yeast, fruit pulp (dropdown supported fruit types)

  2. SO2 addition

  3. Acidification/Deacidification

  4. Chaptalization

  5. Fining

  6. Distillation - Input: number of times

Result: 99% Alcohol (You suck at winemaking)

Hitting 99% is as impressive as it is impossible making wine :D

Distillation x3 or more does that, or just x1 with a really good still (a reflux still for example) and competent user.

Thar would be a surprise, as it forms an azeotrope at around 96%.

It seems you're correct, my apologies, alcohol goes through a drying process to reach higher purities.
