Solution (By Examveda Team)
The most used fining agent for wine is Bentonite clay.Bentonite clay is the most widely used fining agent against heat-instable grape proteins in white wines. As it is negatively charged and dense when it does bond with a positively charged particle they both sink to the bottom of your carboy.
