I've already done all of the googling and asked the wine store experts. I just don't believe that the alcohol content can be determined before the alcohol is produced by fermentation.
Other than the hydrometer, O_D has already suggested the accurate (and maybe only other) way but wonder if some of the alcohol test strips would work. If all you're looking for is presence, maybe so as at least one product mentions:

In addition to testing saliva alcohol, the Alco-ScreenTM can detect the presence of alcohol in other fluids.
Guess the caveat there would be that the other fluids they have in mind would probably not be new wine but more likely the byproduct of drinking such and would just indicate yes or no but not how much.
