2307 00 11 — Wine lees, having a total alcoholic strength of <= 7.9% mas and a dry matter content >= 25% by weight

2307 Wine Sludge; Wine Stone

Wine sludge is formed in the form of muddy sediment in the process of fermentation and ripening of wine. In cases where the sediment is processed on a filter-press, wine sludge is obtained in solid form. Dry wine sludge can be in the form of powder, granules or pieces of irregular shape. Wine stone is a solid fused mass, which is formed in fermenting vats during the fermentation of grape must or in barrels in which it is stored in another. It occurs in the form of powder, flakes or crystalline pieces of irregular shape; its color varies from gray to dark red. Washed wine stone is a crystal whose color varies from grayish-yellow to reddish-brown depending on the color of the wine from which it was obtained. Such washed winestone is also included in this heading. Wine sludge and wine stone (including washed wine stone) are crude sour potassium tartrates with a fairly high calcium tartrate content. They are used as a starting material to obtain the potassium bitartra (acid potassium tartar), which has the appearance of white crystals or crystalline powder, odorless, acidic in taste and resistant to air. Wine is used in the production of animal feed, while wine stone is used as an herb in dyeing.

This heading does not cover acid potassium tartar acid (heading 2918) and calcium tartrate (heading 2918 or 3824 as the case may be).
