For dry wines. The boiling temperature of dry wines depends on their alcohol content, height, and air pressure. The boiling temperature of standard wine (optional extra) and of the wine to be tested are reported on the Ebulliometer disc, which directly indicates the alcohol content with a 0.1% vol. accuracy.
Simply fill the boiler to the required level and switch on the heater. The temperature increases to boiling (about 6 minutes). Write down the boiling temperatures of the wine and read off the wine alcohol degree on the ebulliometer disc (see image).
NB Versions of this ebulliometer are also available for the following: mellow wines (up to 1050 g/dm3); mellow wines & musts; ciders; beers; vinegars
