Sunray, my version could be wrong - but it adds up to 15 letters. My highlighting is in the appropriate colours, sort of, and involves the rows you've mentioned. Have a good stare....

sunray, you've changed the letters appropriately so now think of the last three words of the four. In what? (Not fruit!)

Thanks orson and malone.
I finally see it.
The two rows I mentioned are the key.
I know the colour for Row 6 (7 letters) but the last row?
What is the roughly appropriate colour to use?
The colour in the name of the speaker will not show.

Thanks malone.
Since I have never had that liquid, I googled it.
It has a 6 letter colour starting with G.

Thanks, Sunray - I just went with what I've seen in people's glasses, and it seems to have worked.

Nice puzzle. I have all the thematic stuff, but not these two, which cross.
1d AL??IC A grain harvest, start of change of a region.
15a ?ET?L To take place on hill, what's stimulating to champ with guts. (one letter wrong in definition).

Hi lumen, the 2nd letter in 1d should be "r" which should help.

15 - the last word has the letter needing changed.

Thanks, finished. All clear on the across one but can't parse 1d. Grain?
