Definition
酿制 refers to the process of making alcoholic beverages or fermented foods through fermentation — think beer, wine, vinegar, soy sauce, or yogurt. It's a formal, technical verb often used in manufacturing contexts or when describing traditional brewing methods. Unlike the more general 做 or 制造, 酿制 specifically implies the biological fermentation step.
