The terms that could be used to describe this sample of wine are:


Mixture: Yes, wine is a mixture as it consists of multiple substances (water, sugar, ethyl alcohol, grape juice) physically combined.


Homogeneous Mixture: Yes, wine is a homogeneous mixture because its components are uniformly distributed, giving it a consistent composition throughout.


Solution: Yes, wine can be considered a solution, particularly since ethyl alcohol, sugar, and water can dissolve in one another to form a homogeneous mixture.


Pure Chemical Substance: No, wine is not a pure chemical substance. It is a mixture of different substances.


Compound: No, a compound is a substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions. Wine is not a compound; it is a mixture.


Element: No, an element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom. Wine contains various elements within its different components, so it is not an element.
