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.

Acid of which the quantity in the wine diminishes if the Summer is very hot. It is sometimes necessary to add must to increase the level of acidity in a dull wine.

Tartaric Acid
The most important grape-derived acid in wine. Sometimes you'll find little crystals at the bottom of a bottle of wine: these are crystals of tartarate salts, and they are harmless and flavourless.

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.

1. Add tartaric acid to adjust the tartaric/malic acid balance;
3. Add tartaric acid to achieve the desired pH and TA if necessary.
While tartaric acid appears to be the predominate acid in wine, not much mention is made of its actual flavor. One website described it as "crisp" and "acidy". Um, thanks.
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.
The natural, harmless flakes of tartaric acid found in some wines.
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.
Tartaric acid
Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring grape. It may crystallize when the wine chills. These flavorless, tasteless crystals are usually removed to avoid offending consumers.
Terroir ...
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.
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.
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.
As equally important to winegrowers is the balance of acidity between the green tasting malic acid and the more citrus tasting tartaric acid.
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.
Crystals
The natural, harmless flakes of tartaric acid found in some wines.
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.
Acidification - The addition of natural acids to wines that are too low. Tartaric acid is the most common but small amounts of citric acid are also sometimes added. The laws allowing or against acidification vary by country or production zone.
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, 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.
