The flash point for denatured alcohol is 55Â°F (13Â°C) [10] . This means that ethyl alcohol not intended for drinking can have its vapor produce a visible flame, in the presence of an ignition source and oxygen, at a considerably lower temperature than ethyl alcohol intended for drinking.
Moreover, as a given mixture of alcohol and water (let's say wine) is heated, the proportion of alcohol in the vapors goes up. Thus, the vapors can be ignited when either the concentration of alcohol in the liquid or the temperature is high enough. The lowest temperature (the so-called flash point) at which wine can form enough alcohol vapor to ignite is only about 125 degrees. So hot wine can easily produce enough alcohol vapor to catch fire.
