See the the two pieces of metal the cables are connecting to?

One is made of copper, the other probably out of zinc. The acid in the whine oxidizes the electrodes (copper and zinc) and electons are flowing from the electorode with the lower potential (zinc) to the electrode with the higher potential (copper).

That's some sort of primitive battery. Intel has not build a processor that is powered with whine. Intel has made a processor that is able to run with really low voltage (this thing will deliver a maximum of 1.28V (0.52V potential of copper - (-0,76V) potential of zinc).

TL;DR: This is not working because of the alcohol in the whine, it is working because of the acid in it and the different material of the electrodes.
