Racking Of Wine


“Racking” wine is the process of separating wine from its sediment, or lees, and transferring the wine into another container using a siphon.
It’s a process of siphoning wine from one carboy or secondary fermenter to another (under gravity)
The Stand Still assembly cause dead yeast & lees settling down at the bottom of carboy to provide a clearer wine.
It’s a vital step in wine making as dead yeast (Yeast Autolysis) can impart bad/meaty taste to the resultant wine and must be removed quickly.
Horizontal racking preferred more over vertical Racking

Hey abhi, thanks for sharing and explaining the process of racking. Well, as we know that racking of wine is somewhat filtering of wine. BTW, i am uploading a document which would explain this concept in more detail.
