I am an all-grain brewers who has just begun to make wine. I am using a kit, and the final step before bottling is to add the finings and let it clarify. With beer, dropping the temperature greatly helps in clarification. The kit does not mention this, but I was wondering if I could do this with wine? Can I drop the temp and help clarification? Thanks
It may well help but those wine kits are really made to work a certain way. If you are new to this I would suggest you follow the recipe the first pass or two. If you like the result, no reason to change. But later you could experiment once you know the taste of what comes out.

NOOOO...keep it at the room temp (21-25 C). Wine has acids, tannins and other goodies that beer does not and therefore the fining step needs to be kept at RT.
