Bentonite fining does have some disadvantages. Firstly, some aroma and flavour molecules are not immune from the attractive forces of the bentonite plates.
Bentonite is probably the choice of most winemakers, as it is easy to prepare and easy to use. It is prepared as a 5% slurry by mixing 50 grams of bentonite powder into one litre of hot water.

Bentonite has largely replaced all other fining agents. Such fining agents as gelatin, casein, isinglass, albumin, egg white, nylon, and PVPP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) may be used for special purposes, including removal of excess tannin or colour.

A traditional technique for clarifying wines by adding material such as clay (bentonite), egg whites, gelatin or isinglass to wine containers. The clarifying agent attracts suspended particles and slowly sinks to the bottom, after which it is removed.
Fining: The process of adding an agent (such as bentonite or gelatin) to help clarify and stabilize the finished wine. This operation is done before bottling to help ensure the product will not be cloudy or flocculant in the bottle.
Fining: A technique for clarifying wine using agents such as bentonite (powdered clay), gelatin or egg whites, which combine with sediment particles and cause them to settle to the bottom, where they can be easily removed.
Unfined
Describes a wine where floculant coagulants, such as egg white or bentonite have not been added to the barrel in order to remove suspended solids. See other clarifying processes such as "fining".
Most, like gelatin, and egg whites, are proteins, while another is Bentonite a form of clay. The general concept is to add a substance to the wine that the cloudy particles will stick to, and fall to the bottom.
Fining: The last step before the wine goes into the bottle. A process where a concentrated ingredients (egg white, bentonite, gelatin, or isinglass) is added to adhere to proteins and other imperfections to help improve clarity.
fining, clarification technique involving adding a fining agent (such as egg whites or bentonite) which attracts solids to fall to the bottom of a container.
This is usually done by adding egg whites or another fining agent (like bentonite) that using ionic bonding to attract the solids and drop them out of the wine. This technique removes the protein haze that sometimes forms.
Fining - this is done by adding a fining agent to the wine which causes the lees to fall to the bottom from where they can be racked off. The main fining agent for white wine is a clay called Bentonite.

Fine: to reduce the solids content of wine after fermentation. In traditional operations, egg whites, milk solids or blood is used, more often, a fine clay called "bentonite" or the like is used.
Fining agents include egg white, milk, blood, gelatin, carbon, casein (the principal protein constituent of milk and cheese) and isinglass (an extract of sturgeon bladders). Heat stabilization is a fining process that uses bentonite (a clay of ...
Fining can lower high levels of tannin, remove haze and reduce color. Heat stabilization is another goal accomplished by fining, using bentonite (a clay of hydrated magnesium silicates) to remove protein, which may cloud a wine.
Beer yeast has trouble digesting the sugars in honey, being bred to digest maltose.
A wine-making shop will also have finings, sparkolloid and bentonite, which will attract the particulate matter that makes mead cloudy.
