Is Kombucha a kind of tea wine?

* No Grapes: Wine is made by fermenting grapes, while kombucha is made by fermenting tea.

* Alcohol Content: While kombucha does contain a small amount of alcohol (usually less than 1%), it's not a significant component like in wine. The fermentation process focuses on creating the characteristic tangy flavor and fizz.

* Yeast and Bacteria: The fermentation of kombucha involves a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), which gives it its unique flavor profile. This is different from the process of winemaking, which relies primarily on yeast.

In short: Kombucha is a fermented tea drink, while wine is a fermented grape beverage. They share a common base of fermentation, but the ingredients and processes are distinct.
