I have about 250L of wine I wish to put into a barrel, however it still
has a lot of suspended solids in it... is it a good idea to pour it
through some cheesecloth or other kind of coarse filter to take out some
of the solids beofre putting it into the barrel or would the wine
benefit from contact with the solids in the barrel?
