Racking
Racking is moving wine from one container to another without transferring the sediment. This labor-intensive process is less intrusive than filtering the wine, which removes more of the desirable elements.
Racking is the process of siphoning wine off the lees to allow clarification and aid in stabilization. A racking hose or tubing is used and can be attached to a racking cane to make this task easier.

An important step in wine making. The transfer of the young wine from one barrel, where it has thrown some sediment, to a new barrel, leaving the sediment behind.

Racking
The process of racking involves transfer of wine from one container, such as a barrel, to another. Carefully done, the lees may be left behind in the first barrel, resulting in a partial clarification of the wine.

Racking: The gravity-siphoning or gentle pumping of the clear wine or juice off the lees for clarifying. Often used as a gentler alternative to filtration, and to aid in the wine's barrel development.
Racking is the process of moving the juice from one barrel to another - providing two key benefits: 1. The juice is separated from the bottom layer of sediment, which could negatively impact the final flavor.

Racking
Labour intensive process of siphoning wine from one barrel to another in order to leave some sediment behind and gradually clarify the wine.
racking is the operation of transferring wine from one container (typically a barrel) to another, leaving behind the lees. It can usefully expose the wine to oxygen and avoid reduction.
Racking: Transferring the wine from one cask to another to separate it from its lees. Racking can be used to aerate a wine, and the process of leaving precipitated matter behind also helps to clarify the wine.

RACKING
Traditional method of wine clarification. Sequential transfer of wine to several containers, each transfer leaving behind some particulate matter.
Racking: Decanting clear juice or wine from above the sediment in a tank. This is the easiest method for getting rid of solids that have settled to the bottom in a tank.

Process in which the wine is poured or pumped between tanks or casks in order to decant it. In the latter case, racking serves to air the wine. Cask ageing includes meticulous scheduling of rackings.

A key part of the winemaking process during which clear liquid is separated from sediment or residue in either a barrel or tank. This can occur two or three times during the preparation of a wine.
Racking is the oldest technique of clarification that is just one step beyond natural settling. This is simply siphoning off the relatively clear wine after the lees have settled to the bottom, leaving them behind to discard.

When racking red wines, depending on pH, the addition of from 20 to 30 ppm SO2 each time should do the trick nicely.
Early racking is not required for wines of high total acidity--i.e., those produced in cool climatic regions or from high-acid varieties.
Eric's pix showed racking that I thought looked good. Looking forward to his chapter.

Racking running off the contents of a vat or barrel in such a way as to leave behind the solids in the bottom of the container. Remontage French for "pumping-over." Remuage French for "riddling.
Several techniques are used to accomplish this: racking (removing the wine from the sediment that settles at the bottom of an aging vessel and transferring it to another container); fining (introducing an agent such as egg white, gelatin, bentonite, ...
Cold stabilization may also be considered a form of racking. This process removes excess tartaric acid that may form potassium bitartrate crystals, which can show up in bottled wine or on corks.
All red wines undergo malolactic fermentation to soften them, before racking and maturation. Red wine is usually matured longer than white - around 18 months or more.
Now, if you really want to store some massive amounts of wine, perhaps one or two hundred bottles, you’ll definitely want to invest in a wine racking system or kit.
Usually through splashing while racking, sparging with air, or simply by stirring a container very vigorously.

Worn-out, past its prime, describing a wine that is fading. Wines can also be tired from traveling or being subjected to treatments such as racking and fining; these wines recover with rest.
They can be formed if finished wine is allowed prolonged contact with the lees. This can be prevented by racking the wine. Mercaptans have a very low sensory threshold, around 1.
