    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac who coined the word pipette (and burette), studied titration and the alcohol by volume metric is also referred to as degrees Gay-Lussac.

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac?

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac

    He developed an improved version of the burette that included a side arm, and coined the terms “pipette” and “burette” in an 1824 paper about the standardization of indigo solutions.

    His work on alcohol-water mixtures led to the degrees Gay-Lussac used to measure alcoholic beverages in many countries.

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac is the connect. He coined the terms pipette and burette (Pic 1 & 2) . Alcohol by volume is referred to as degrees Gay-Lussac (after the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac)(pic 3).

  13. Qbrain Says:

    The connection is french chemist and physicist “Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac”
    Pic 1 & Pic 2 coined the terms “pipette” and “burette”, also developed improved version of the burette that included a side arm,
    Pic 3 – for his work on alcohol-water mixtures, which led to the “degrees Gay-Lussac” or “ABV” (alcohol by volume)

    also in some countries, alcohol by volume is referred to as degrees Gay-Lussac (after the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac)

    Must be Pasteur.
    And, I learned that the glass tube used for sampling wine is called a *barrel thief*.

    joseph louis gay-lussac – super question!

    alcohol by volume


  21. googboog Says:

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, didn’t see the who connects part

    Gay Lussac? (ducksandruns)

  25. Rogi Says:

    After the BB crew hinted that Pasteur might not be the best answer, I checked again… And it seems another answer could be Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac as he developed a procedure for determining Alcohol by Volume and coined the term pipette. Which is a slightly better answer as Pasteur only had one style of pipette (the eye dropper) named after him and he worked out how bacteria interfere with the normal yeast fermentation in wine.


  26. dheeraj Says:

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
    his work on alcohol-water mixtures


  27. dheeraj Says:

    and coined the terms “pipette” and “burette”

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac.

    “Happy” Lussac :)
