    Pear Wine Haze

    I have a pear wine that finished fermenting mid November. After racking off the initial lees, and then a second racking early December I have had it sitting in our cold barn. Night time temperatures have been in the 20s and 30s. The wine seems to have a persistent heavy haze (no significant...
