Default Port in tights

From a BBC article on Portugal wine makers:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programme...nt/8420787.stm

<< Expert Tim Stanley-Clarke says port is "perfectly filtered" through
nylon tights. >>

My guess is it is not some weird fetish, but making use of the fine mesh
of chemically neutral nylon to catch cork pieces and sediment.

Is that the case?
