Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST). Guide. An aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood.

These small bottles measure about 2 and a half inches wide and stand around seven and a half inches tall. This is your average wine bottle and measures about three inches at the bottom and ranges from 11 and a half inches to 12 inches tall.
You may bottle the wine with simple racking tubing. I insert the tubing into the bottle at the depth I wish the wine to rise to (1-3/4 inches if using 1-1/2-inch corks, 2 inches if using 1-3/4-inch corks. When the wine rises to that height, I simply lift the bottle above the height of the wine in the secondary.
