Because many people object to cloudy wine, along with the sediment that is left floating in it, wineries send their wines through a clarification process called fining. Fining eliminates the cloudy appearance of wine by removing the sediments. Basically as the suitable protein material slowly settles, it carries the impurities causing the cloudiness with it, eventually leaving a residue of protein and impurity at the bottom. The fining agent acts like a magnet by picking up the sediment in the wine and carrying it to the bottom of the wine barrel. After the wine is clarified, it is separated from the sediment during a process called racking, which leaves the residue behind. Both common agents are jelly like proteins.

Albumen, which is produced from egg whites, is the most common fining agent for red wines. Gelatin, used for red or white wines, is an animal protein from the skin and connective tissue of pigs and cows. Gelatine is used for two basic reasons: clarification and reduction of overly astringent wines. It is also used prior to fermentation in order to reduce astringency and improve clarity. Gelatine is usually used with kieselsol, the two opposing electrical charges attracting most of the suspended solids.

Egg White or albumen is a common fining agent for red wines because it reduces the harsher tannins. Some winemakers claim that it imparts a silkiness to the wine.

If wine has not naturally cleared after three rackings 60 days apart, put it in a colder place--not necessarily in the refrigerator. If this does not work after 30 days and you have ruled out pectic and starch hazes, give it more time or try a fining agent. A fining agent is a material added to wine that settles by gravity, dragging down with it particulates one wishes to remove from the wine. The addition of a fining agent to the wine will usually clarify it.

The purpose of fining is to remove suspended particles from a wine that are causing problems now or could cause problems in the future. Many of the unwanted suspended particles in wine possess either a positive (+) or a negative (-) electrical charge while in a low pH, colloidal state. Therefore, it is possible to precipitate these particles by introducing materials which will have an opposite electrical charge when in the wine. When such particles are introduced, they are attracted to and combine with the oppositely charged suspended particles already in the wine. The result is relatively large and massive combined particles, usually with a neutral charge (the positive and negative charges having cancelled each other), that readily precipitate in the wine and even drag other suspended material with them as they fall.

The most common positively charged (+) particulate is protein, although some metallic compounds also carry positive charges. Protein is easily removed using negatively charged (-) fining agents such as tannin, yeast, bentonite, and Kieselsol. There are, however, numerous negatively charged particulates, including tannin, phenolics, anthocyanins, yeast, and bacteria. These are removed using positively charged fining agents such as gelatin, albumin, casein, Isinglass, chitin (Chitosan), and Sparkolloid. Just a cursory look at these groupings should lead to the realization that red wines, with their natural (or added) tannin, should not suffer from haze caused by proteins, but white wines easily could. This is why commercial white wines are routinely protein stabilized with bentonite fining and red wines are not. Young red wines, when cloudy at all, usually can trace their cloudiness to pectin or a negatively charged particulate.

Both temperature and wine pH affect the fining process. The precipitation of the large, combined particles will be hastened at low temperatures and slowed at warmer temperatures. Thus, if at all possible, wine should be fined in the winter or at least chilled or cooled prior to fining. Secondly, as the pH of a wine increases, the strength of the relative charge of suspended particles decreases. For example, at a high pH, organic protein fining agents may not have enough of a positive charge to sufficiently bind with the negatively charged particulates. Thus, they may actually increase the turbidity of the wine when it is chilled or warmed. This effect is often called "overfining" and naturally should be avoided. In the case of a high pH wine, Sparkolloid (with its pH-independent strong positive charge) should be used.

If you want more technical details, I suggest you put 'fining wine' or 'fining wine mechanism' or something similar into Google search engine and there is plenty there to read.
