Hey folks,

I noticed this a while back. My white moscato (made from juice but was adjusted by the winery I bought it from). There's a white cloudy film that has settled on on the bottled that I have stored on a rack. It has settled all along the bottom of the bottle - alms like a thin streak that goes from the beck to the base that's about a 1/4 wide. What is it?
 
the sediment almost looks like the stuff left over from your demi (lees) but I used a filter and racked 3 times or more so wine was clear... or so I thought...

If I move the bottle the stuff begins to stir up and you can see it dissipating.. like I said, its a cloudy substance in an otherwise clear wine
 
Could be wine crystals from the acid dropping out.
