Absolutely fact. I distill water all the time, mostly for topping off my various deep cycle batteries.This is not a situation where owning a still would be like having the parts/etc. for a suppressor without the tax stamp. It is not illegal to own or even operate a still - only if you produce "spirits" with the still.
You can produce wine or beer with a still, without a license/permit - if it is under a certain amount and the ABV is below a certain percentage.
I think you may be a little confused here - beer and wine are not distilled or considered spirits. They are bottled directly after fermentation. ABV doesn't matter.
