A Saccharometer is a type of hydrometer that measures the amount of sugar in a solution. It is used primarily by winemakers and brewers, and it can also be used in making sorbets. [1].

This device is helpful in winemaking. The first brewers' saccharometer was constructed by John Richardson in 1784.
