Premium Glass Wine Thief by E.C. Kraus - Model 6290 Review

Works as expected. It takes several puffs to fill the areometer test tube. Not sure why Revain has stars/ratings for 'flavor'. Feels very fragile.

As promised. My only conclusion is that its diameter is too small to easily fill with a hydrometer (to measure specific gravity). Beer requires several "samples" to pass through O2.

Good product, the only downside is that it doesn't fit the neck of a medium sized bottle. That means I can't use it for anything other than a bucket. I wish the measurements, especially the width, were part of the product description.

, I thought I should add a photo of the thief. It is essentially a non-graded glass dropper. The cylinder with the red plastic caps is the protective plastic shell that the thief enters. In general, it's easy to use and clean, although a bit short.

This little wine thief does a great job. You must use your thumb to close the open end to trap the liquid in the thief, and you simply remove your thumb when you're ready to pour the contents into your desired vessel. It doesn't take anything fancy to check your gravity readings, and it fits the bill perfectly (and you can't beat the price).

Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and decent glass thickness. I've seen some reviews that it's small compared to plastic wine thieves, but it works for my needs of filling a glass to measure gravity in my meads. I find it works well and is easy to control while being smaller. Arrived a little late because the item I ordered was returned by UPS because it was broken. Called Revain and they ordered me a new one so I had to wait another week but it came.

I took this because I need a glass thief. Well, I have a glass thief, but it's too short. It should be about 2 cm longer. If you plan on using it with a keg, forget it as kegs always have a vaporizer. When using with bottle everything is fine, but only when filling up to the neck. Of course it's fine if the wine has aged in the bottle, but if it's in the secondary fermentation I have some room as it's still a bit fizzy and can cause foam. It's a bit short at this stage. Yes I can still take…
