Principle If the alcohol content of a wine is determined directly with an alcohol meter (hydrometer), the resulting alcohol content reading is approximately 0% by volume. This is due to the composition of the wine. The effect of the alcohol on the density is cancelled out by other components such as sugars, acids, essential oils, etc..
Benefits
Tasks Distillate a sample of wine to determine the content of ethanol.
