What is MLB in wine making

[btom2004]

I see this term often, but never any real explanations as to what it is. I couldn't find any def. here. When I Googled MLB, it only shows Major League Baseball.

Most folks would think baseball when they heard MLB, only a winemaker would think Bacteria first, Baseball second!

LOL...I was being funny, sorry about that.

Now how dose this relate to wine making? Is it simply the prosses of letting must/lees/wine ferment to dry?

As a former manufacturing cost specialist, I was thinking Material, Labor and Burden!
