This is usually done by turning the bottle upside down, collecting the sediment on the face of the cork, freezing the wine in the neck of each bottle, removing the cork and the top lump of dirty ice.

The sediment collects on the bottom of the cork in the neck. When the dirty cork is pulled out, it leaves the clean cork...

Hitherto manganese, the element which gives, steel its pliability, has been apt to cluster instead of spreading evenly through the steel; now J. & L. is feeding manganese into the molten metal in carefully measured and shaped lots. The new process, says Metallurgist Graham, is like using bits of quick-dissolving granulated sugar in coffee rather than lump sugar. The analogy would be more accurate, he adds, if lump sugar...
