How can the components of a mixture of methanol and ethanol be analyzed?

When using methanol as the raw material and encountering a mixture of methanol and ethanol, how should one conduct an analysis to make a judgment?
If only a significant amount of ethanol is simply mixed into methanol, it can be determined directly using distillation. If the amount of contamination is small, it can be analyzed using gas chromatography. If other alcohols besides ethanol are also present, gas chromatography is the best analytical method.
