Bitartrates - Chemically these are potassium
bitartrate crystals that form when a glass
bottle is kept at low temperatures. A bottle
containing bitartrates does not affect
the organoleptic qualities of the wine
at all.
Bottle rack - Cupboards or structures
made of iron, wood or other materials,
where bottles of wine are stored for
ageing.
Bottling facility - Specific place in
the winery where the finished wine is
bottled, either for commercialisation
or for further bottle ageing.
Bouquet - Refers to aromas that arise
from the wine’s ageing process,
therefore young wines will never have
bouquet.
Budding - Stage in the vine’s
life cycle when the leaves sprout. Also
called foliation.
