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.

Do you have any good books on winemaking,

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

It's a start
