23091
A sentence from Japanesepod101, with the official translation.

> 赤のブドウも緑のブドウもよく搾｛しぼ｝るとワインやジュースになります。  
>  Both red and green grapes are good squeezed and turned into wine or juice.

Their translation of よく as good (i.e. the grapes good for being squeezed)
doesn't seem right. To me よく should be referring to 搾る (i.e. if the grapes are
well/properly squeezed, they become wine or juice). Here I have interpreted
the と as "if/when". Was my interpretation correct?

grammar adverbs
Intrepretation of よく
**よく** can only reference **搾る** , because the adjective precedes the verb. In
English, the adjective must be translated as **well**. The inaccurate English
translation may occlude your understanding.  
The present (or: non-past) tense, here of the verb **搾る** , together with the
particle **と** do indeed express a conditional relationship ( _if_ ).
