What is Drappie?

Drappie is a term used in the wine industry to describe the residue found at the bottom of a bottle of wine. This sediment is usually composed of tartrates, dead yeast cells, tannins, and other organic matter that naturally precipitate out of the wine as it ages. While drappie may not be visually appealing, it is typically harmless and can actually be a sign of a well-made, unfiltered wine.

Why is Drappie Important?

While some consumers may be put off by the presence of drappie in their wine, it is actually a natural byproduct of the winemaking process. In fact, in some cases, drappie can contribute to the flavor and complexity of the wine. The presence of sediment at the bottom of a bottle is more common in wines that have not been filtered, as filtering helps to remove these solids before bottling.

How to Handle Drappie?

If you come across drappie in a bottle of wine, there is no need to be alarmed. Simply decant the wine before serving to separate the sediment from the liquid. Pour the wine slowly and steadily into a decanter, leaving the drappie behind in the bottle. Once the wine has been decanted, it is ready to be enjoyed without any fear of ingesting the sediment.
