Enology

Clarifying wine by adding an agent that binds haze and settles out.

In enology, fining is the clarification of wine by adding an agent (such as bentonite, gelatin, or egg white) that binds suspended or colloidal material so it aggregates and settles out, improving clarity and stability. The Handbook of Enology (2006) sets out fining among clarification and stabilization treatments. Here fining is the clarification of wine, not the removal of bubbles from molten glass.[1]

Unit
One fining treatment (agent and dose added to clarify).
Recovery means
Identify an added agent that binds haze and settles it out of the wine.
Measured by
By turbidity reduction and protein/colloidal stability after treatment.

Glass Technology

Removing gas bubbles from molten glass (refining the melt).

In glass technology, fining (refining) is the removal of gas bubbles from molten glass, usually by adding fining agents that release gas to sweep small bubbles out as the melt is held hot. Eitel (1976), in Industrial Glass, describes the fining of molten glass. Here fining is debubbling a glass melt, not clarifying wine.[2]

Unit
One fining stage (bubble removal from the melt).
Recovery means
Identify the hold/agent step that clears gas bubbles from molten glass.
Measured by
By residual bubble (seed) count in the finished glass.
