Cloudy wine should not be bottled simply because the taste and finish will be so much better after clarification. <br /><br />When active bubbling ceases, 7 to 10 days, I rack the wine into a clean, sanitized carboy taking care not to transfer sediment. Replace the air lock and let it sit for at least two or three more weeks or until the wine clears. Stubborn clearing May even require clearing agents like Chitosan and kieselsol and a third racking. If not clear on all this, there is quite a lot on the internet on the subject.

Mine are slightly smaller so will have enough to fill the demijohn without adding water. Is this ok? Thanks in advance.
