This diagram illustrates IV curves for the air and some alcohols of different permittivity such as methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, and ethyl acetate. The change in the IV curve follows the change in their dipole moments. The point to notice is the change in slope after the threshold voltage. The change in the slope is due to other factors besides the dipole moment that later can be used to better identify a liquid.
