Oenology The science of wine - fermeting, aging, and tasting. In American English one oft finds it written without the "O", but spelt that way I think obfuscates the Greek root.
Oeschle Scale A scale measuring the density of grape must to indicate grape ripeness and sugar content used in wine-making. It is named for Ferdinand Öchsle and widely used in the German-speaking parts of Europe. On the Öchsle scale, one degree Öchsle (°Oe) corresponds to one gram of the difference between the mass of one litre of must at STP and the mass of 1 litre of water (1kg). For example, must with a mass of 1100 grams per litre has 100 °Oe. This mass differential is mostly due to the dissolved sugar in the must, thus forcasting possible future alcohol content. It usually measured by using a refractometer to decide when to harvest grapes.
