Hi Rookie,
The 'TA' you're refering to is Titratable Acidity rather than Total Acidity. Titratable Acidity is the proton concentration in the wine as meaured by titration with a strong base to an end point, typically 8.2. Total Acidity is more than this and includes all volatile as well as fixed acidity.
You'll find that many folks, myself included, use pH meters to measure TA, but acid titration kits are also available at most homebrew shops - some for $5 or $10. Obviously, pH meters will also allow you to measure the pH of your wine, i.e., the free proton concentration. What ever method you choose, be sure than your base solution is fresh. I've been fooled using NaOH solutions that were too old.
Good luck, RD
