Fining and Filtering
The process of removing small particles from wine. This is accomplished by adding and agent that absorbs the particles and sinks to the bottom, before being removed. Egg whites, dried ox blood, bentonite clay, and isinglass are all commonly used agents. The wine is then passed through a fine filter.
