Скачать или смотреть Vinometer vs. Hydrometer for Winemaking

I recently tried out a vinometer to measure the alcohol content in my homemade wine. While it worked reliably for dry wines, I quickly discovered its limitations when it came to sweetened or store-bought wines. This tool isn't accurate for wines with residual sugar, which was a significant drawback for my needs. I'm currently exploring other options like refractometers to get more precise readings for all types of wine.

My current method involves using a hydrometer to take gravity readings before and after fermentation, then applying a simple formula to calculate the alcohol percentage. This has been the most reliable approach so far. However, I'm eager to find a device that can accurately measure alcohol in sweetened wines and even help me understand sugar-to-alcohol ratios in commercial wines I enjoy. If you have any recommendations, please share them in the comments!
