I’m pretty sure he’s using a Brix meter, which provides a measurement in degrees of brix. Essentially lets the winemaker know how much sugar is in the grapes

Slight clarification
A brix meter measures soluable solids in the juice. A major portion of which is sugar.
Changes in Brix does not slways correlate exactly with sugar content as other soluable solids are included in reading. Things like like carotinoids etc. A little something to pay attention too when comparing varieties.

45 degrees in cartography: 45th parallel

I literally crossed it today, albeit on another continent than the one pictured here.

45° in Kelvin: ☝️🤓 Actually it’s not degrees Kelvin, just Kelvin

45 degrees in Czech Republic: Probably the strongest beer you’ve ever tasted.

45 degrees in time is about 1:08
MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 days ago
45 in celsius is just beach time not fire
ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 2 days ago
And 45 in Fahrenheit is just cool, light jacket weather.

45°F is 7.2°C. That’s 4°C higher than the temperature this evening.
quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days ago
That’s pretty high for grapes.
JASN_DE@feddit.org 3 days ago
70 to 80 is the usual lower range.
quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days ago
I guess I was using a different scale when I worked at the winery. Never saw anything above 20.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
Oechsle is sugar content. 80 is average for the less sweet breeds.

I thought it was Brix, in retrospect, 45° brix is absurdly high for any fruit juice.

What about kelven?
JASN_DE@feddit.org 3 days ago
Kelvin does not use the degree sign. Its simply “x Kelvin”.

Tried, but things got so slow the picture hasn't made it here yet.

Just got it…

45 degrees in Fahrenheit is above freezing point tho.
NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 3 days ago
I slightly like to exaggerate, a lot…
Agent641@lemmy.world 3 days ago
45 degrees C is an average summer day here.
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
Yeah I was tempted to comment on that too, 45 degrees in dry heat and under shade isn’t too bad.
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
No way that sounds very hor.
Aganim@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Try the Dutch climate. Here everything above 28 degrees C is, in my opinion, unbearable.

And I would’ve failed maths (even more than I did) if I’d called that wonky thing Michael’s doing an “angle”, let alone 45°, nothing is perfect in life.

yeah that’s running in shorts weather 😂

Not in Texas.

That’s when we bring the horses inside the house and pull out the first winter brisket.
