Did you talk about the alcohol volume, or the Oechsle scale ? I was thinking the same as you in terms of numbers, but someone corrected me. Fun to learn about it on Fediverse rather than in the vineyards, but i’ll be sleeping less dumb anyway !
After googling a little I learned that the scale we used is called Brix. One of my tasks in the winery was to take samples of grape juice and register the sugar content using a refractometer similar to the one on the picture.

I guess I was using a different scale when I worked at the winery. Never saw anything above 20.
