The Difference Between Alcohol and Wine

Question
What is the difference between medical alcohol and alcohol derived from wine? Why is the former considered pure and the latter impure?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: impurity is a legal matter, and what comes from wine is ruled by Sharia to be impure, unlike other things which have not been ruled as impure and thus remain in their original permissibility. And God knows best.
