I have tannin in powder form. Are finishing tannins different from tannins or does "finishing" only refer to when the tannin is added.

There are several forms of tannin. Some are particulate which the wine extracts like a cold brew coffee. Some are 100% soluble. Have you looked at the Scott Labs Handbook for choices?
I bench trial so would test commercial blueberry wine with my Malbec before restarting a fermentation.

I just looked at Scott tannins. Wow they are pricey.
My take on your questions is "not really" and "sort of yes".
I have used generic tannin in fruit wines for decades. In the past week I've taken delivery of 3 red wine tannins and 1 white wine tannin, and am starting experimentation. I have 2 red wines in 3 containers each, and each will receive a different specialty tannin.
If I can figure out a 4th container for each, I also have plain 'ole tannin, and I'd like to see how that differs.
And yes, they are expensive. The experimentation will help me decide if the specialty tannins are worth it.

@winemaker81 And here I thought tannin was just tannin.
