See https://books.google.ca/books?id=LxnMBWM0fy0C&pg=PA420&lpg=P... and other example that you can find by searching for "degree Babo" + "sugar"

: Apparently this method is used only in Italy and in Austria, where it's called Klosterneuburger Mostwaage or KMW.

: This is like translating "gradi Celsius" as "temperature".

I agree, but we don't know which country this translation is targeted to. In US, grado babo is specific gravity. So I would use a more general term. Everyone understands "temperature", but not everyone understands Celsius and Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.

Reference:
The Brix scale determines the sugar content of a solution; whereas the Oeschle scale can be used determine the density of grape must, and the Babo scale facilitates the user’s ability to ascertain the exact sugar content of the grape must.
