Negative term for an unclear wine with an unclean colour in the context of a wine address. Related terms are flaky, dull, milky, hazy, dusty, cloudy, opaque, unclean and cloudy. Causes of cloudiness in wine range from poor clarification (fining and filtration) to abnormal development and resulting wine faults such as brown break and black break. If the cause was a stirred-up deposit (sediment), settling and subsequent decanting will help. The positive counterpart of blind is clear (clean); see also opaque.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
