Verified by Experts

The organic compound which is a constituent of wine and beer is ethyl alcohol (or ethanol). Thus the compound 'A' is ethanol. Now ethanol on oxidation with alkaline potassium permanganate produces an acid known as ethanoic acid . This ethanoic acid turns blue litmus to red. Thus , the compound 'B' is ethanoic acid .
