Alcohol & Grape Refractometer

Our alcohol & grape refractometer is a specialized optical instrument used in winemaking and viticulture to measure the sugar content, often expressed as Brix, in grape juice or grape must, which is a crucial parameter in determining grape ripeness and potential alcohol content in wine. It operates by measuring the refractive index of the grape juice due to its sugar content. By providing accurate Brix readings, winemakers can make informed decisions about when to harvest grapes for optimal wine quality. These refractometers are essential tools for vineyard management, grape growers, and winemakers to ensure the grapes are harvested at the right time for producing high-quality wines with the desired alcohol levels and flavors.
