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.

Straw-Man, likes walks on the beach, red herrings and Shifting Goalposts, seeks like-minded True Scotsman
This is the sort of thing we have to deal with in the Riddled Classified Personals Department.
On the teevee during sporting events recently there is a bombardment of commercials for a lawn care products company called Scotts. The spokesman's name is Scott, he's Scottish - has the accent, but not TOO heavy, that would turn Americans off, wears a plaid shirt and has a little black scotty dog because hey, we prefer to get our lawn care advice from a perfect stereotype.
But anyway, there's your Scotsman commentary for the weekend.
There's Scottish accents and then there are other Scottish accents. Glaswegian, for instance, would not sell lawns. I would even hesitate about buying grass from the speaker.
Sounds like an ad hominem.

Since when do Scotsmen know anything about lawns? If they could grow actual lawns they'd raise cattle, not sheep.
