This seems to be a very common belief by home winemakers. It is important to note that practically all commercial wineries filter their wines. Filtered wines are more stable and will age better and keep longer. The filters used by commercial wineries are much finer than filters commonly available to and used by home winemakers. You will not strip any flavour from your wine using these filters. Filtering will help to rid your wine of excess gasses and will also remove yeast and other impurities.
