Hello,

It's my first wine batch.

I'm about to rack my wine in another carboy. I have a big sediment and the
new carboy will not be full. Everyone tells to complete the space wiht
sterilized water. I heard someone was dooing that with a good bottle of
wine. This looks like a great idea. Is it? May I spoil something if I do
that?

Thanks

No, but have you considered getting a smaller carboy? Home wine shops have
them in various sizes, and some combination of that plus smaller
bottles/jugs will allow you to keep the wine topped up so that it doesn't
spoil.

As Tom S said, a smaller carbouy is a good move - however - if you are going
to top up, this will be ok but do check that this wine is not 'corked' as
it'll spoil the whole lot!!!

Don't recall why, but this is supposed to be a very bad idea.

As long as the wines complement each other and they are both stable, you
should be fine IMO.
