Generally, wine made from crushed grapes is going to require more attention to racking as you need to remove the "gross" lees which contain pulp debris which can cause stinky wine. Fine or clean lees can actually improve wines. IMHO, some get carried away with racking and rack every time they see the slightest amount of lees. |

I typically get 8 gallons of wine from 100 pounds of red grapes and about 6 to 7 gallons of juice for whites. |
