'Wine' is produced from 'Grapes' (source ingredient) in the same way as 'Vodka' is produced from which primary source ingredient?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Potatoes

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This analogy maps a beverage to its typical source ingredient. Wine is traditionally produced by fermenting grapes. We must choose the primary raw ingredient commonly associated with vodka production.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Wine → Grapes (fermentation of grape sugars).
  • Vodka can be distilled from starch or sugar sources.
  • Common traditional base in many regions for vodka is potato (also grains in some variants).


Concept / Approach:
We seek the most widely recognized, canonical source ingredient associated with the beverage in general knowledge contexts. 'Potatoes' is the textbook pair for vodka.



Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Confirm first mapping: Wine → Grapes.2) Recall vodka bases: potatoes and grains are common; potato-vodka is iconic.3) Select 'Potatoes' as the best-known source ingredient mapping.



Verification / Alternative check:
General-knowledge sources commonly cite potatoes as a classic base; while grains are also used, 'potatoes' is the most recognizable association for analogy tests.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Apples/Oranges: Used for ciders or fruit spirits, not the standard vodka base.
  • Flour: Processed grain product; not itself the fermentable base as used traditionally.
  • None of these: Incorrect because 'Potatoes' is acceptable and canonical.


Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking the multiple possible bases; choose the most conventional, widely taught association.



Final Answer:
Potatoes
