I'm going to be racking a Beaverdale merlot tomorrow. Reading the instructions that came with the kit, it says to transfer to a clean DJ, add the stabaliser and to SHAKE the container for 3-4 minutes, at least three times a day for the next 3-4 days to remove the CO2.
Does this not introduce oxygen and spoil the taste of the wine?
