lets try and see what happens to the alcohol content of wine after a
"few hours"

i dont have access to chemically quantifying alcohol so we will have to
come up with something simple

i understand that using a straw and a razor blade one could make a very
sensitive balance


i will make the assumption that since alcohol is much more volitile than
water then the initial weight loss will be due to alchohol and not water


i will balance a glass of wine and see how much weight is lost in a "few
hours"--remember i cannot control for temperature and relative humidity


cthulgling has not reveiled anything about the volitility of alcohol
(ethyl) and water mixtures so teh whole experiment if full of lots of
holes--but lets see what happens

anyone out there have access to a scale that can weigh to at least 0.001
milligrams?
