The word of the wine: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
