I think I know the steps involved in finishing my wine (other than tiping the glass upside down:)) but I am unsure on the best order for these steps

stabilize
F-pack
back sweeten
fining
age
bottle

or should it be

stabilize
fining
F-pack
back sweeten
age
bottle

or maybe

Stabilize
age
F-pack and sweeten
fining
bottle

One things for sure I do know the last step
DRINK:i
 
This is the order I go;
Stabilize
age
F-pack and sweeten
fining
cold stabilize
bottle

Sometimes I do everything in this order except age after cold stabilizing
 
Duster it's like a multiple test in school.

For myself,

Ferment, (@ 1 week)
Clear and stabilize 4-6 weeks.
Age 1 year reds, 6 months fruits and whites.
Back sweeten with inverted sugar and sorbate.
Wait a few weeks and bottle.
