La graisse est une altération qui se manifeste surtout sur les vins blancs mal soignés et mal constitués : faibles en alcool et pauvres en tanin. Ces vins deviennent fades et se troublent. Ils filent comme de l'huile et remplissent le verre sans bruit. La présence de gaz carbonique produit une légère effervescence. 1, record 2, French, - graisse
