Should you filter wine during the wine making process - You decide.Most white wines are filtered prior to bottling, and some reds are. Filtering can clarify a wine so that it sparkles in your glass, but if you filter wine too heavily it can strip away character.

Crushpad's Chief Winemaker, Michael Zitzlaff explains your options.
