The Oechsle scale is a hydrometer scale measuring the density of grape must, [1] which is an indication of grape ripeness and sugar content used in wine-making. It is named for Ferdinand Oechsle (1774–1852) and it is widely used in the German , Swiss and Luxembourgish wine-making industries.
The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...
1 mL of water weighs 1 gram so a recipe calling for 300 mL (≈ 1 ⁄ 2 Imperial Pint) of water can simply be substituted with 300 g (≈ 10 oz.) of water. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs approximately 1 ounce so a recipe calling for a UK pint (20 fl oz) of water can be substituted with 20 oz of water.
This parallels the term sec ("dry") in French, which indicates a sparkling wine of the same sugar level as trocken. Drier wines are designated extra trocken at 12 to 20 grams per liter (0.00043 to 0.00072 lb/cu in), while completely dry sparkling wines are given the designation brut (0–15 g/L) or extra brut (0–6 g/L).
The US fluid ounce is based on the US gallon, which in turn is based on the wine gallon of 231 cubic inches that was used in the United Kingdom prior to 1824. With the adoption of the international inch , the US fluid ounce became 1 ⁄ 128 gal × 231 in 3 /gal × (2.54 cm/in) 3 = 29.5735295625 mL exactly, or about 4% larger than the imperial unit.

A six-ounce cut of top sirloin, for instance, contains calcium, selenium, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, and phosphorus, plus 646 milligrams of potassium and a whopping 51 grams of protein, per the U ...
The refractometer will be calibrated in a must weight scale, but as refractometers actually measure refractive index (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.
