MUST.

—Grape juice before it has fermented and become

wine. True wine is made from the must of freshly

pressed grapes, but methods have been devised for

sterilizing, evaporating or treating must in such a

way that its fermentation is prevented and the

must can be imported as grape juice, which escapes

heavy duties placed on wine; such must is used for

producing British wines after fermentation has

been produced by adding yeast to it.
