It's apples and oranges since this is a measure of weight (or mass) only.
According to THEWINETOOL.COM, the definition is:
Brix - pronounced "bricks" - the Brix scale is a system used in the United
States (in Germany uses the Oechsle scale, and in France uses the Baumé
scale) to measure the sugar content of grapes and wine. Each degree Brix is
equivalent to 1 gram of sugar per 100 grams of grape juice. The degree of
Brix is determined by a hydrometer. The estimated alcohol that a wine will
produce (called potential alcohol) is estimated by multiplying the Brix
reading by 0.55.
