I am trying to produce a formula to calculate the alcohol and sugar content in wine, knowing the relative density. It is straightforward for the sugar/water solution in phase one and for the alcohol/water mix after distillation, but the three variables simultaneously make it impossible with only a single equation to work with at the wine stage. Can you tell, please, me the percentages, by weight, of alcohol and CO2 produced when sugar is fermented, and whether the mass of water is altered, other than by evaporation?
