Estoy traduciendo un artículo sobre el efecto de los componentes fenólicos en el vino sobre la viabilidad de ciertos patógenos:
"El vino **es una bebida muy consumida en** Europa, especialmente en países como España, Italia y Francia y constituye una solución compleja que contienen diferentes componentes con potentes propiedades antimicrobianas, como su bajo pH (entre 3 y 4), concentraciones de etanol relativamente altas (10-15%) y la presencia de algunos compuestos antimicrobianos. "
Estoy trancada con esta expresión de uso común.

: Sure is. As an interpreter I can never change the original. Your interpretation is too vague, IMO. Yep, we're all different..;)
