Don't fret, she will have one less mouth to feed.
And an awful lot less sugar to buy.

Reminds me of a line on saw somewhere..
My only fear is that when I am gone, my wife will sell my brewing equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

Well, I just bought one.
Have been meaning to try a refracty-doody for awhile.
Postage was more than item cost.
We are 'A short time here and a long time gone'.
Who cares anymore?
Thank's for the heads up Toper!
Quite what the local charity shops will make of the donations after my demise is a thread of amusment for myself.

Toper, at that price I would jump on it quick and buy a spare! Let us know how it works.

Chances are that you will get a brix scale and something else. But what "wort" means I dunno. It might be helpful or might not. Have a punt.

Refractometers come in a variety scales. I have two for separate jobs.

The description goes say:

“ This device measures the light diffraction of the sugars in your brew. This method can then be used to indicate the specific gravity of your sample in "Brix" or "Worts" scales “

This is, for me, pretty standard for a refractometer which measures sugar contnet.

Worth a punt, but beware it doesn't mention... either which scale and which units. There are a few variations.

For any who might care to use a refractometer to calculate sugar content, they don't come much cheaper than this.

I've been back to B&M a few times and found an empty shelf each time, still marked up as 50p, I guess some folk are making jam or wine and stocking up, or... there is another stiller in my hood.

I might stock up - its cheaper to buy the bags than a 20kg bulk bag from cash & carry
