Top 10 Best Wine Refractometers

When your wine tastes funny, what can you do? Our wine experts in the MOOZ Reviews Lab recommend (and test) a refractometer to check wine for signs of spoilage. A refractometer uses light waves from a laser to measure how much light passes through a liquid. The measurement is converted to a measurement in Brix, which refers to how much sugar is in your wine. The higher the Brix level, the more sugar is in your wine, which is good news for the wine lover who wants to drink more!

A refractometer is easy to use and relatively inexpensive ($25 and up). In our testing, we evaluate their performance using accuracy, ease of set up, and the ease of calibration. Our top picks for the best wine refractometers? Our most accurate pick is the eTekcity Digital Wine Decanter Refractometer, which scans a wide window and has multiple measurement options. Our top pick for ease-of-use is the Aegend Wine Tester, which scans one measurement window and doesn't require calibration.

Product Features

  • EASY TO BE CALIBRATED. Just need to drop distilled water on the prism, align the prism assembly with light source, reading and turn the screw until the reading data is 0, then calibrating is completed.
  • EASY TO BE USED. Just need to drop the wine sample on the prism, and make the prism assembly toward to the light source, look into eyepiece and you will get the readings.
  • AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION ( ATC). You can get the accurate wine brix and alcohol testing result without taking care about the influence of different wine keeping temperature.
  • BRIX AND ALCOHOL REFRACTOMETER DUAL SCALE PERFECT FOR WINE BREWING. Its dual scale can show wines brix and alcohol testing result together, one step to get the needed data. 0.2% brix and alcohol testing accuracy, 0-40% brix and 0-25% alcohol measurement range suit for wine making very well.
