Also, at this stage go more by the taste than numbers because you
might have to dump in a lot of tartaric acid to get the pH to better
levels for cold stabilization. If the wine had a lot of malic acid,
there might not be that much tartaric to begin with, so there might be
no need for cold stabilization, really.
