I've been making wine from juice for 4 years now, and pretty much do what 'wise winemakers' taught me. My wine is drinkable and I've not had any major problems with bad wine, etc. My question: I usually rack my wine 4-5 times, usually bottling about 9-10 months after I start the Fermantation process. I don't use any filtering prior to bottling, and haven't used any fining agents. My whites appear to be pretty clear. Should I be using a fining agents? Typically the wine lasts about a year after bottling, and I haven't noticed any settling. Will fining or filter improve the wine taste at all?
