RE: So, are you for or against?

Fining and filtering are two very different things. I always fine and filter whites and rose'.
Not for clarity, but to prevent protein haze if the wine gets a bit warm on the store shelf or in
transit.I have fined reds before....using either egg whites or maybe gelatins. But for me that's rare.
FIltering is mandatory for whites and rose' in my book. I do filter almost all my reds (small lots for one of my wine clubs excluded.) I filter because I want to make sure that if a customer opens that bottle 10 or 12 years down the line it will be brett free. Without filtering or using Velcorin, I can't be sure.
