Is not red wine put into a bottle with mostly opaque glass and stored on its side? How are you seeing into it to tell if the sediment is rising or falling?

greg i am referring to a wine with a hi sediment content thus you wouldnt want to store it in a bottle on its side at this stage of the wine process.

the goal is to wait for the right time to get the clearest wine out to another bottle and to move the wine into a smaller container and leave as much of the sediment behind
