Question: What do the terms racking, fining, and filtering mean in wine making?
Answer: Racking is the separation of the wine from the sediment that with time settles in the bottom of the tank or barrel. Usually done by hoses transferring it to another clean tank or barrel.
Fining is the addition of some substance (could be egg whites) to the wine to clear it of particles which are floating or in the wine itself.
Filtering is actually passing the wine through a filter. Controversial because depending on the filter size can strip the wine of important elements.
