The solvent is ethanol, as it is present in a larger amount and dissolves the solute, sucrose. The solute is sucrose, which is the substance being dissolved in the ethanol to form the solution.
The solute would be iodine, and the solvent would be tincture
We can consider as solvent ethanol (96,5 %) and the solute water (3,5 %).
In the context of alcohol as a solute, the solvent would be the liquid in which the alcohol is dissolved. For example, if you mix ethanol (alcohol) in water, ethanol is the solute and water is the solvent.
Benzene is the most soluble solvent in gasoline due to their similar chemical properties. Water is the least soluble solvent in gasoline as they are immiscible. Ethanol falls in between, being partially soluble in gasoline.
Ethanol is the solvent and sucrose is the solute.
Gasoline is an organic solvent
solvent=ethanol solute=sucrose because sucrose is added to ethanol.

In tincture of iodine, iodine is the solute and alcohol (usually ethanol) is the solvent. Ethanol dissolves the iodine to create the tincture solution.
The solvent is usually the larger part of the solution which dissolves the solute. The solute is the smaller part which gets dissolved. So as an example, seawater is a solution. The solvent is water and the solute is salt and traces of other minerals. Vinegar is also a solution. Again, water is the solvent and glacial acetic acid is the solute. To do acid values in resin chemistry, methanolic KOH solution is usually the titrant. In this example, methanol is the solvent and KOH is the solute.
We normally think of a solute as a solid that is added to a solvent (e.g., adding table salt to water), but the solute could just as easily exist in another phase. For example, if we add a small amount of ethanol to water, then the ethanol is the solute and the water is the solvent. If we add a smaller amount of water to a larger amount of ethanol, then the water could be the solute!
The solute is generally an essential oil and the solvent is usually a low molecular weight alcohol like ethanol or methanol or isopropanol, possibly mixed with water.
