Is there a simple way to check if re-writable media has been finalized? So far the only recommendations I can find suggest that I attempt to start another write session using the disc and if it fails assume it is finalized.

Check the drive properties in File Explorer. If the Free Space shows as 0, then the disc is finalized. If the Free Space > 0, then the disc is not finalized.

InfraRecorder will show you information about the media in a drive.

Actions > Disc Information > (choose a removable drive)

Here is what you can expect to see:
