Quite true.
I know for my aunt and uncle's vineyard, the percentage of sugar in the
grapes determines the sale price to companies such as Welches. The reason
that Welches can claim that they never add sugar to their juices is they
don't, but they purchase grapes with a high sugar percentage. One year the
percentage was up to 20% and let me tell you those were some sweet grapes.
Smile. They grow Niagra and Concord grapes. Welches won't buy any grapes
that test below 15% sugar.
On a bad year, with lots of rain the sugar might be at about 10% which would
require a lot of sugar.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Before I gave up on the talking gadget for testing sugar content I would
find out ifThe National Science Foundation, or Smith Kettlewell or Science
for the Blind might be able to work it out.
We test blood for sugar, why not grapes?
