@the_wine_crate: During traditional wine racking (soutirage), a candle is placed beneath the stream of wine to illuminate it from below. This allows the winemaker to see exactly when sediment (lees) begins to move toward the outlet, so the transfer can be stopped at the right moment. A simple yet effective technique, it helps preserve the wine’s clarity while minimizing disturbance. 🎥@quandvintlevin . . . . #wine #winecountry #winereels #winetiktok🍷 #winemaker
