Intermediate Winemaking & Viticultureपरिभाषा
Adding substances to clarify wine and remove unwanted compounds.
गहराई से
Fining agents bond with target molecules and settle out. Egg white reduces harsh tannins in reds; bentonite clay removes haze-causing proteins in whites; PVPP strips bitter phenolics. The agent is removed with the precipitate, but trace amounts may remain — hence allergen labeling requirements. Unfined wines may be cloudier but retain more texture.
