I make sure that I really do a great job in fining wines. In case you wondered what fining is, i'll explain it to you. Clear wine has had all residual "total dissolved solids" removed. To do this one needs to rack the wine several times and as well add fining agents to help the TDS to fall to the bottom of the carboy. You then rack (siphon) the clear wine leaving the TDS behind.
You can find fining agents at your homebrew store. But what if you wanted to make your wine sparkle. Well then you'll need to filter it as well.
There are several types of wine filters out there. I use the Vinimat 8 inch disc filter. I attach a large vacuum pump which ends up sucking the wine through the filter. It works really well.
