According to MoreWine
MoreWine! "On average, one ton of California wine grapes contains seven lbs of dirt, one mouse nest, 147 bees, 98 wasps, 1014 earwigs, 1833 ants, 10899 leafhoppers and three pounds of bird droppings. Grapes are crushed without washing. When fermentation is complete, the dirt, bee wings, etc. settle to the bottom of the fermenter...s, and is left behind when wine is racked."
Just shows you that a little "protien" dont hurt the wine. LOL![Drinking :dg :dg](/images/smilies/drinking.gif)
