I had about a quart of "dregs" poured from the bottom of my secondary
fermentation carboy from this fall's activities. It was about as clear
as mud, but figured I might be able settle it out enough to use it for
cooking or whatever. I let it settle for a week or so on its own, then
added a gram or two of Bentonite and waited a couple more days. It was
not only clear enough to cook with, it was clear enough to drink. I
didn't give this bottle of salvaged wine a chance to age though )
