I have a batch of "Freezer Punch" wine that I bottled back in June. I'd had it in secondary for four months and I wasn't getting much sediment when racking, so I went ahead and bottled it. I hadn't advanced to using any clarifying agents at the time, and it's opaque. I was hoping that with time it would clarify. It's eight months later and it's still cloudy.
Do I put it back in a bucket for a week with some sparkolloid, rebottle, and hope it doesn't spoil?
Do I add a pinch of sparkolloid to each bottle and rebottle in a week?
Or do I just set it aside for a couple years and hope it eventually clears?
Alternatively, it's well below freezing this week, should I set the bottles in the garage (about 35*F) to see if they'll cold-crash and clear up?
