This seemingly innocent bottle of "Plum Juice" is actually quite nice! With a mild 15% alcohol content it makes for a nice drink to sip on the rocks to wind down for the day. It is quite amazing the sheer amount of things humankind has tried to ferment into some form of alcohol. Most of it grains and fruit of course. Here's an interesting piece of trivia:

vodka today is produced from grains such as sorghum, corn, rye or wheat. Among grain vodkas, rye and wheat vodkas are generally considered superior. Some vodka is made from potatoes, molasses, soybeans, grapes, sugar beets and sometimes even byproducts of oil refining or wood pulp processing.
