Riper grapes = more fermentation

- D.
The further grapes ferment, the more sugar is produced
Correct Answer(s)
B. Riper grapes = more fermentation
C. The further grapes ferment, the more alcohol is produced
D. The further grapes ferment, the more sugar is producedExplanation
As grapes ripen, they contain more sugar, which acts as food for yeast during fermentation. Therefore, riper grapes tend to undergo more fermentation. During fermentation, yeast consumes sugar and produces alcohol as a byproduct. So, the longer grapes ferment, the more alcohol is produced. Additionally, as fermentation progresses, yeast continues to consume sugar, leading to the production of more sugar. Therefore, the further grapes ferment, the more sugar is produced.Rate this question:
