Which must adjustment is used to reduce alcohol in wine?

Explanation:
Alcohol in wine comes from the fermentation of fermentable sugar in the must, so to lower the final ABV you adjust the must to have less sugar to begin with. The option that directly targets this is reducing alcohol, because it is about lowering the alcohol content itself. Enrichment would raise alcohol by adding sugar, while acidification or deacidification change the wine’s acidity and do not affect alcohol levels.
