Racking & Bottling
In winemaking, after the initial
fermentation is partially completed, the wine is first racked. This
usually involves pressing or squeezing the juice from the skins
and other debris and transferring to a secondary fermentor.
The wine may be racked several more times before it is through fermenting,
clear, and ready to be bottled. Following are some useful items
involved in those processes.
Straining Bags
Straining bags are nylon bags that
are very useful in separating grains, fruit skins, and other materials
from the wort, must, or juice. For small batches of wine they can
easily take the place of a fruit press. In beermaking they are useful
for grain and hop sacks. They are also used as sparging bags.

Fermentation Locks
Fermentation locks are water filled devices which
allow CO2 to escape (thus preventing a buildup of pressure) while
keeping air (and oxygen) from entering and harming the wine. In
beermaking the locks are often put in place immediately at the start
of fermentation, while in winemaking they are usually added when
the wine in put into the secondary fermentor. It is important to
check occasionally when making wine to ensure the water in the lock
has not evaporated.

Filters, Pads, Papers
When it’s time to bottle wine,
filtering may be necessary to make the wine bright. It is best used
after the wine is fined. Fining will often be all that is needed
before bottling. See Pages 25 & 27.
If filtering is done, preventing oxidation is important. Avoid splashing
the wine, try to keep as air-tight a situation as possible, and
consider using ascorbic acid or wine sulfites as antioxidants.
