Default Winery vs My readings

I helped a buddy figure out his sugar addition last week. He got the juice
from a nearby winery. Two different kinds, and there was a big discrepancy
between the wineries claimed Brix, and what my refractometer measured. One
was 13+ (claimed 15+), the other 16+ (claimed 18+(very poor). Was the winery
fudging the numbers so that it would sell? Any other explanations?
