Hi,
I read about the difference between "made of" and "made from" on this website.

In this case, is the answer "from"?

  • This table is made of wood.
  • Of is used if the material still exists in its original form in the finished product.
  • Wine is made from grapes.
  • From refers to the source material, from which something different is produced.
  • You can easily see with your eyes that wood has been used to make the table, whereas it's impossible to see what has been used to make wine.
