ok, so it is one of the types of osmosis???

now, the solvent molecules cum out of the membrane....so its exosmosis

arey yaar the conc of water outside the grapes is less (since conc nacl is there)

so water flows out frm its higher concentration to its lower concentration thru the semi permeable memb of grapes which is exosmosis by defination!!!

the reason is
solvent particles flow from grape walls to external solution
