Take the sugar level at time of harvest and times it by .55 to get the alcohol level. 24 brix of sugar equals 13.2%. So the higher the sugar the higher the alcohol. This is why some Zinfandel will have a higher alcohol level do to the fact that they can easily reach 29-31 brix.

What is inverted brix?

Inverted brix is a term used in winemaking to measure the concentration of sugar in grapes or grape juice. It represents the amount of sugar content that will be converted into alcohol during fermentation.
