exothermic@lemmy.world 6 days agoI’m pretty sure he’s using a Brix meter, which provides a measurement in degrees of brix. Essentially lets the winemaker know how much sugar is in the grapes

Slight clarification
A brix meter measures soluable solids in the juice. A major portion of which is sugar.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix
Changes in Brix does not slways correlate exactly with sugar content as other soluable solids are included in reading. Things like like carotinoids etc. A little something to pay attention too when comparing varieties.
