I. Choose the words or phrases below which can be substituted for the words or phrases in the passage (the
first has done for you as an example).
Wine is the naturally fermented juice of the grape. Wines differ vastly with regard to the time required for
ageing; most reach ripeness for bottling six to twelve months after fermentation. The flavour of a wine depends
not only on the species of grape used but also amongst other things on the methods of fermentation and the
different salts contained in the soil where the grape is grown. Therefore the quality and flavour of wines vary
greatly from vineyard to vineyard as well as from country to country. Theoretically, sweet wines are produced by
halting the process of fermentation before all the sugar in the grapes has been converted into alcohol; similarly, if
most of the sugar is converted, a dry wine will result. In fact, much of the sweet wine sold is artificially
sweetened.
