devatting/drawing off

Hi Anne,

The word you are looking for is "devatting", which you can also call "drawing off". The general term for transferring must or wine from one container to another is "racking.

See http://www.proz.com/kudoz/916496

The wine is "devatted"/"drawn off".

drawn

Since svinatura is drawing off the wine from the vats, maybe "svinato" could be "drawn".
