150: 75: 217:. A few grapes are crushed between the fingers and the must is dripped onto the glass of the refractometer. The refractometer will be calibrated in a must weight scale, but as refractometers actually measure 221:(of the grape must in this case), the must weight scale on the refractometer is in effect an indirect measurement, with refractive indices having been pre-converted to their must weight equivalents. 262: 259: 187: 108: 113: 66:, the percent alcohol content that would be the result if the must were fermented to a completely dry wine. 210: 285: 47: 213:, which helps select the time of harvest.
