How Do You Measure Sugar in Fermenting Grapes?

We check in with Mike Anderson, Owner & Winemaker at MTGA Wines, as he uses a hydrometer to measure sugar levels in his fermenting merlot grapes. As the fermentation continues and speeds up, the levels will dry out (meaning, no residual sugar left in the juice) and the wine will be ready to go to barrel.
