The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

Monsters feeding on themselves
The sophisticated critics in the Nuremberg Chronicle were not impressed when "Rhinoceros Whale vs. Mega Eurypterid Sea-Scorpion" was released in 1604. The plot was risible, they said; the human characters were two-dimensional cut-outs, seemingly devoid of personality or any motivation other than to explain the back-story; the special effects for the eponymous monsters betrayed the cheapness of the budget.
