Oechsle scale The sugar content indicated by the Oechsle scale only refers to the unfermented grape must, never to the finished wine. In Austria the Klosterneuburger Mostwaage (KMW) scale is used. The scale is divided into Klosterneuburger Zuckergrade (°KMW), and very similar to the Oechsle scale (1° KMW =~ 5° Oe). However, the KMW measures the exact sugar content of the must. The Baumé scale is occasionally used in France and by U.S. brewers, and in the New World the Brix scale is used to describe the readings of a refractometer when measuring the sugar content of a given sample.

Content (measure theory) Content (measure theory) In mathematics, a content is a set function like a measure but a content need not be countably additive, but must only be finitely additive. A content is a real function formula_1 defined on a field of sets formula_2 such that An example of a content is a measure, which is a "σ"-additive "content" defined on a "σ"-field. Every (real-valued) measure is a content, but not vice versa. Contents give a good notion of integrating bounded functions on a space but can behave badly when integrating unbounded functions, while measures give a good notion of integrating unbounded
