I don't make up solutions from crystals, namely because of what you stated about the hygroscopic properties, and partly because I don't trust my ability to weigh things that accurately. Instead, I purchase 1 N stock and dilute it down. Measuring volumes accurately seems fairly straight forward, though now I'm beginning to question the distilled water purchased locally. I standardize my solutions often due to the degradation characteristics of NaOH in solution plus the question mark surrounding the distilled water.
And finally, I'm not a homewinemaker. Not much beyond that, but do produce over 10k gallons professionally.
