Testing the gravity or specific gravity of your wine is done with a hydrometer. The hydrometer is a simple tool that tells you what the specific gravity of your wine is compared to water. You can easily make your own home made hydrometer if you don't want to go out and buy one from a store.
For the past few thousand years people have been making wine with out the aid of such tools so worrying about the gravity of your wine is not that important if you are just starting to make your own wine at home.
The best way to test the gravity of wine is to take a sample out and put your hydrometer in that. This way you are going to be able to see the measurement a lot easier that you would if you just put the meter into the main container.
