Fruit wine is too high, indicating an excess of sugar, water or acidulated water may be added to adjust the specific gravity down to the winemaker's target range. Many kinds of fruit have a natural acid content which would be too high to produce a savory and pleasant fruit wine in undiluted form; this can be particularly true, among others, for strawberries, cherries, pineapples, and raspberries. Therefore, much as to regulate sugar content, the fruit mash is generally topped up with water prior to fermentation to reduce the acidity to pleasant levels. This also dilutes and reduces overall fruit flavor; a loss
Boletellus ananas including "Pinus" and "Quercus" species in southeastern North America and Central America, "Quercus humboldtii" in Colombia, various Fagaceae and Dipterocarpaceae species in Malaysia, and "Leptospermum" and "Pinus" species in New Zealand. In Guyana, the humic deposits on "Dicymbe" trunks bearing "B. ananas" are consistently permeated with abundant ectomycorrhizas. The fungus was reported as forming mycorrhizal associations with eucalypts in Australia, based on fruit body association with trees. Its North American distribution encompasses a range extending north from North Carolina to Florida, west to Texas and south to Mexico, and Central America. In 2008, it was reported for the first time
