agree  philgoddard: Apparently this method is used only in Italy and in Austria, where it's called Klosterneuburger Mostwaage or KMW.

disagree  philgoddard: This is like translating "gradi Celsius" as "temperature".
36 mins
  -> I agree, but we don't know which country this translation is targeted to. In US, grado babo is specific gravity. So I would use a more general term. Everyone understands "temperature", but not everyone understands Celsius and Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.
