I’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
The_v@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Slight clarification
A brix meter measures soluable solids in the juice. A major portion of which is sugar.
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.

I guess it’s the alcohol by volume, sometimes called “degrees” (in France it’s the most common term). 45 is quite a lot for wine though, but it could be for liqueur
JASN_DE@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
No. It’s “degree Oechsle”, a measurement for the sugar content of fresh grape juice

45 degrees in cartography: 45th parallel

I literally crossed it today, albeit on another continent than the one pictured here.

45 degrees in time is about 1:08

45° in Kelvin: ☝️🤓 Actually it’s not degrees Kelvin, just Kelvin

45 degrees in Czech Republic: Probably the strongest beer you’ve ever tasted.
MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
45 in celsius is just beach time not fire
ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And 45 in Fahrenheit is just cool, light jacket weather.
quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
That’s pretty high for grapes.
JASN_DE@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
70 to 80 is the usual lower range.
quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I guess I was using a different scale when I worked at the winery. Never saw anything above 20.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Oechsle is sugar content. 80 is average for the less sweet breeds.

I thought it was Brix, in retrospect, 45° brix is absurdly high for any fruit juice.
slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What about kelven?
JASN_DE@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Kelvin does not use the degree sign. Its simply “x Kelvin”.

Til.

Before 1967, the unit was called “degrees Kelvin” and was written as “°K”, so you still might see “°K” in old publications or text written by people who never heard of the new convention…

Tried, but things got so slow the picture hasn't made it here yet.

45°F is 7.2°C. That’s 4°C higher than the temperature this evening.

Just got it…
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
45 degrees in Fahrenheit is above freezing point tho.
NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I slightly like to exaggerate, a lot…
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
45 degrees C is an average summer day here.
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Yeah I was tempted to comment on that too, 45 degrees in dry heat and under shade isn’t too bad.
Aganim@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Try the Dutch climate. Here everything above 28 degrees C is, in my opinion, unbearable.
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
No way that sounds very hor.
Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
And I would’ve failed maths (even more than I did) if I’d called that wonky thing Michael’s doing an “angle”, let alone 45°, nothing is perfect in life.

yeah that’s running in shorts weather 😂

Not in Texas.

That’s when we bring the horses inside the house and pull out the first winter brisket.
