Some sediments can take up to six weeks to settle. If the wine still looks cloudy when you shine a light through it, you may want to let it sit longer.
It's best to store wine at a cool and even temperature.

Once the sediment is sitting securely behind the seal closure it is a simple process to release the cork or cap and thus allow the pressure built up within to push out the wine, complete with sediment.

Heces (sediment) Solid particles deposited on the bottom of the receptacle containing wine due to decantation, or once fermentation is completed. In wine tasting, advanced organic material that gives off very disagreeable, putrid odours.
Lees: The sediment deposited by young wines in barrel or vat, consisting mainly of inactive yeasts and small particles of solid matter from the grape.
Crust - Sediment, generally potassium bitartrate, that adheres to the inside of a wine bottle.
Cult wines - Wines for which committed buyers will pay large sums of money because of their desirbility and rarity.
Removing the sediment from the bottles is a process called dégorgement, or disgorging. The bottle necks are dipped in a solution of freezing brine or glycol. This freezes a plug of wine and sediment in the top of the neck.

Sediment
Sediment consists of small, usually colored particles, that settle to the bottom as the wine ages. While sediment is harmless, it is often removed by decanting to improve the wine's appearance.
Seed ...
Wine ages best when left undisturbed and the sedimentation will happen well. Constant shifting and movement disturbs the natural settling process in the wine.
At this point the neck of the bottle is being plunged in a liquid solution at a temperature of about -20°C (-4°F) in order to rapidly freeze the sediment.
In addition to aeration, decanting removes some of the bitter sediments from the bottle. Sediment is more common in older bottles but younger wines benefit more from the aeration.
Red wines that have aged for a period of time may develop a deposit of sediment in the bottle, which is normal, and if not properly decanted, may show up in the glass as haze or particles.
First, the bottle will have the sloped shoulder style that is typically found in white wines (and Pinot Noir) where there is no need for a sediment lip. You'll also be able to see that it is a white wine through the green glass, instead of red wine.
There are two styles: one, called "traditional" LBV, collects a sediment at the bottom of the bottle, and so must be decanted and filtered (through a coffee filter or a layer of cheesecloth) before drinking.
3 Bouquet 4 Sediment It helps the development of the aroma, bringing out the bouquet of the wine. In the case of most aged Red Grands Crus, a natural sediment is produced when colour pigments react with tannins.
Term used to refer to the dregs or sediment left at the bottom of a container once the liquid has been drawn.
When decanting wine to remove sediment, set the bottle upright for one to two days so the sediment settles at the bottom. Vintage Ports may require standing for several days before decanting due to the large amounts of sediment that exists.

It is the best thing to do when a wine has thrown some sediment in the bottle.
Decanting: This is the process of pouring off any sediment that has been deposited in the bottle over time to create 'clean wine'. It is frequently done with vintage port or older red wines that have spent many years in a bottle.
Winemakers build more complexity into this easy-to-manipulate wine using common vinification techniques: barrel fermentation, sur lie aging during which the wine is left on its natural sediment, ...
TRUB: Is the trubaceous matter is the sediment that gathers in the bottom of a beer fermenting vessel & mainly consists of heavy fats, proteins, hop bits and dead yeast cells.
Crystals are just like any other natural sediment. Stand the wine bottle upright for a few hours, to allow the sediment to settle into the bottom of the glass.
Finally, many Muscadets are made in a somewhat unusual way that involves leaving the young wine to age on its yeast sediment (called "lees"), a process in which a chemical reaction called "yeast autolysis" adds flavor and complexity to the wine.
Lees refer to sediments of dead yeast that occurs during and after fermentation, or are carried by the action of "fining". Lees can also consist of pips, grape pulp and other solids. US winemakers use the term "mud".
DECANTING A method by which cellar-aged bottled wine is poured slowly and carefully into a second vessel, usually a glass decanter, in order to leave any sediment in the original bottle before serving. Almost always a treatment confined to red wines.
We want the wine to be free of any sediment, leaving it clear and brilliant. Red wines tend to lose their color as they mature, while white wines tend to grow darker with age. A good quality wine generally will be intense in color.
Riddling
An important step in removing sediment from Champagne. Bottles are placed in racks and then turned by hand or machine over weeks or months until upside down and the sediment has settled on top of the corks.
Dépõt consisted the sedimentation of yeasts when they finished their activity. Certain wines are high on dregs to enrich them in flavours or to preserve a beading aspect to them.
LIMPIDE (LIMPID) ...
The prolonged contact of the must and the sediments during fermentation; maceration is longer or shorter depending on whether one wishes to obtain a red or rosé wine. It is during maceration that the aromas and tannins are diffused.
In addition to aeration, decanting with a filter allows one to remove bitter sediments that may have formed in the wine. Sediment is more common in older bottles but younger wines usually benefit more from aeration.[43] ...
Crust: Crust is the heavy sediment, which forms in a wine. Cuvé Large Vat or Tank, which wine, is fermented.
Cuvée: The entire contents of a Cuvé made at any one time.
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.
Decanting : A process for separating the sediment from a wine before drinking. Accomplished by slowly and carefully pouring the wine from its bottle into another container.
Should I ever use a decanter for my wines?
A decanter is used mainly to remove sediment from older red wines. Also, it can be used to open up young red wines. Otherwise, wine will “breathe' enough in your glass and decanting is not necessary.
Lack of clarity to the eye. Fine for old wines with sediment, but it can be a warning signal of protein instability, yeast spoilage or re-fermentation in the bottle in younger wines.

Cloudy
An evident lack of visual clarity. Fine for old wines with sediment, but in younger wines cloudiness can be a warning signal.
Cloves
Spicy flavour often associated with oak. Look for it in Spanish Rioja.
Sur Lies
Aging process where yeast sediment is left in the cask to impart a creamy, nutty flavor to the wine. Characteristic of great French white wines.
Clarity
A wine's clarity refers to its clearness and absence of sediment.
Cloying
A wine taster would say a wine is cloying if it's so sweet that the sweetness stays in the mouth after tasting it.
