Tartaric acid is measured in grams per 100 ml of wine.
No more than 83 g of powered tartaric acid should be added to 23 liters of wine.

Tartaric acid is a normal grape acid. Potassium also exists in grapes, and when these two things bind together under chilly conditions, they form little potassium bitartrate crystals, which then settle to the bottom of the bottle.

Both tartaric and malic acids are produced naturally in both red and white grapes as they mature. As the grape continues to mature, the acidity level declines.
1. Add tartaric acid to adjust the tartaric/malic acid balance;
3. Add tartaric acid to achieve the desired pH and TA if necessary.
Cream of Tartar
The common name for potassium bitartare, a by-product of winemaking. It is a major ingredient in baking powder and a means of stabilizing beaten egg whites.
Tartrates. Tartaric acid, a naturally occurring acid in wine that forms crystals on the cork along the sides of the bottle. While cosmetically unattractive, these crystals only show that the wine has been handled quite delicately.
acidityPerceived in the taste of the wine as a level of tartness, acidity is a naturally occurring component consisting of mainly tartaric acid, at about 0.5 to 0.7 percent of the wine by volume.
Tartness, the taste of natural fruit acids (tartaric, citric, malic or lactic) in wine. Minute traces of other acids are all found in wine. There are two measures of acidity used in winemaking; see pH and Titratable acidity.

Deep. Intensely full, with many nuances of flavor, all smoothly interlaced.
Delicate. A well-balanced light wine, with a pleasant but unassertive smell and taste.
Acid/ Acidity : Acids, primarly citric, malic and tartaric, occur naturally in wine and, in the proper proportion, are essential ingredients, giving the wine character and helping it age.
Derived from natural grape acids, primarily tartaric and malic, but may also include lactic and acetic from microbial action, whether intentional or otherwise.
The major wine acids include acetic, carbonic, citric, lactic, malic, and tartaric. Excessive acid makes a wine taste sour, while insufficient acid renders a wine weak.
The natural acids that appear in wine are citric, tartaric, malic and lactic. Wines from hot years tend to be lower in acidity, whereas wines from cool, rainy years tend to be high in acidity.
TARTRE (TARTAR)
Crystal precipitation of salts of tartaric acid in the barrels and the bottles. Do not present any disadvantage for the wine.
TASTEVINAGE
Label granted by the brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin to certain Burgundian wines.
This process removes excess tartaric acid that, if untreated, might later form potassium bitartrate crystals, which can show up in wine bottles or on corks.
This process removes excess tartaric acid that may form potassium bitartrate crystals, which can show up in bottled wine or on corks.
This cold treatment precipitates out any excess tartaric acid in the form of tartrate crystals, hopefully preventing a crystal deposit forming in the bottle later.
citric, lactic, malic and tartaric. Desirable acid content on dry wines falls between 0.6% and 0.75% of
thers being "Acid", "residual Sugar" (and/or "Glycerin") and "Tannin". The presence of these
components define a wine that has "good balance".
Acidity: The acidity in a wine (principally tartaric, malic, citric and lactic) provides liveliness, longevity and balance: too much leaves a sour or sharp taste on the palate, while too little results in a flabby, shapeless wine.
Kibbeh comes in several forms: It's sometimes served raw, like steak tartare ("Kibbeh Nyi"), and is often deep-fried in individual football-shaped portions about the size of lemons ("Kibbeh Meklieh").
add "Acid Mixture A" which consists of 50% tartaric acid, 30% malic acid and 20% citric acid. If the must is acid-deficient but measures higher than 4.5 p.p.t.
Tartrate crystals (see tartaric acid)
Under cold conditions, tartrate crystals crystallise and form little potassium bitartrate crystals, which settle to the bottom of the bottle.
Pottery jars from the Neolithic site of Jiahu, Henan were found to contain traces of tartaric acid and other organic compounds commonly found in wine. However, other fruits indigenous to the region, such as hawthorn, could not be ruled out.
Organic Acids - The natural acids in wine include tartaric, malic, and citric. Lactic acid will exist if malolactic fermentation has been completed. Without sufficient acid, wines taste flat, age poorly and are more likely to spoil.
Tartrate Crystals: Tartaric acid, the primary acid in grapes, forms tiny crystals when chilled. These crystals adhere to the cork or form sediment in the bottle, and are not considered a defect.
A process in which white wine is chilled to precipitate tartaric acid as small crystals which can then be removed before bottling. Wines that have not been cold stabilised may throw these crystals at a later stage.

Dark
As a visual term, a red wine of intense color. As a flavor term, akin to "brooding," above, a robust wine with depth and texture.
Acidic: or tart, sour. All wines contain some acids, predominantly tartaric. Raw, young wines are generally more acidic than older ones. improperly balanced wines may taste sour because of an abnormally high acid content.
This process, called cold stabilization, turns excess tartaric acid into crystals. Some wines are not cold stabilized, as some winemakers who feel this somehow reduces the quality of a great wine.

The acids referred to are citric, lactic, malic and tartaric. Desirable acid content on dry wines falls between 0.6% and 0.75% of the wines volume. For sweet wines it should not be less than 0.70% of the volume.
Acid: A compound present in all grapes and an essential component of wine that preserves it, enlivens and shapes its flavors and helps prolong its aftertaste. There are four major kinds of acids--tartaric, malic, lactic and citric--found in wine.
There are four major kinds of acids--tartaric, malic, lactic and citric--found in wine. Acid is identifiable by the crisp, sharp character it imparts to a wine. It is required for proper balance; too much or too little constitutes a flaw.
A major cause of cloudiness is the slow precipitation of potassium acid tartrate (cream of tartar) as the wine ages. Rapid precipitation is induced by lowering the temperature to -7 to -5 C (19 to 23 F) for one or two weeks.
It should be consumed within three to six months of purchase. However, cru beaujolais, which has more depth and complexity, may age well for five to ten years, sometimes longer. Serve Beaujolais Chiroubles with carpaccio, beef tartare, brie cheese, ...
