What is typically the alcohol content range of sake?

The typical alcohol content range of sake is between 14% and 16%. Answering in the range of 10% to 15% is closest to this typical range but does not fully encompass the common higher alcohol level found in most sake. Sake is brewed using a fermentation process that usually results in an alcohol content that can be higher than traditional wines, which is why the correct range usually cited is around 15% to 20%.

Sake often achieves this alcohol percentage due to the multiple parallel fermentation process involved, where both the starch conversion to sugar and sugar fermentation to alcohol occur simultaneously. While some types of sake may indeed fall into lower alcohol ranges, those are exceptions rather than the norm. Therefore, while the answer identifies a range that includes lower alcohol content, it does not fully represent the standard alcohol concentration for most sake varieties accurately.
