I have been known to be stingy and use a coffee filter for that last
little bit, but I usually keep this seperate from the rest of the
batch...

This last time I tried tipping, and was able to save alot more of the
wine. I only lost maby 2 % or so on a one gallon container.

Alot of times I use bottles for that extra used for topping up, and
have found that if I'm carefull, I can decant the liquid off the
sediment without too much trouble. I tend to use only clear bottles,
so I can see it better, and stop when I get too close to the sediment.
