We use hydrometers to gauge sugar content. Since hydrometers measure solubles solids and soluble solids are mostly sugar in wine grapes, that works pretty well. In researching raspberries, I found that sugar can make up a much smaller fraction in other fruit. A clear sample of raspberry juice might measure 9 Brix, but contain only 3 g/100g sugar. More detail here:
If we're just talking about raspberries, that may not be a big deal. It's unusual to make wine from 100% raspberry juice - I've never done it with more than 25%. So, for the entire must, the error is a lot smaller. Might be a problem with other fruit though.
