I received a shipment of wine today and there was a last minute note in the box about "Wine Diamonds" which are tartrate crystals. I gather the wine in my box contains Wine Diamonds. The note goes on to say that in Europe these sediment crystals are appreciated as a sign that the wine is natural. Indeed I have had three different merchants in Germany say the wine is highly prized if it has the crystals. It was always in the winter when they were trying to sell me these wines and my feeling was that the wine had gotten very cold for the first time and caused the crystals to precipitate out. I think that cold processing of white wines here in the US gets rid of them totally. OK this is a subject for some European comment.
