When you perform a Riddling, Packaging, or Bulk Dispatch operation, you can select specific bins and cages from the tirage group. You can also combine tirage groups that were historically split, or when saving a Tirage, Tirage Admin, or Stop Riddling operation. This makes it easier for you to perform sparkling operations on these wines.

2. If you’re doing a Riddling operation and want to use a partial amount from a cage, de-select the Use Existing Cages checkbox.
3. Click the list icon that’s displayed beside the tirage group’s name.

The Tirage Group Details window displays.

4. Select the bins/cages that you want to use. To select all the bins/cages listed, select the Select All checkbox.

6. If you’re using a partial number of bins/cages and/or bottles for a Riddling, enter a name for the new tirage group, or click the wand icon to use an auto-code.

7. Specify the remaining details for the operation.
8. Click Now + Save.

Combining Tirage Groups When Saving an Operation

When you save a Tirage, Tirage Admin, or Stop Riddling operation, you’ll have the option to combine matching tirage groups. The criteria to determine if a tirage group matches another will depend on the following.

If there are no matching tirage groups, the operation will be saved as normal.

When you save a Tirage, Tirage Admin, or Stop Riddling operation with a matching tirage group, the Combining Tirage Group window displays. You can:

• Combine the tirage group with an existing one.
• Create a new tirage group.
• Use the tirage group provided in the operation.

1. From the Combining Tirage Group window, select the Combine Them With One of the Existing Tirage Groups From This List option.

3. Click Yes.

To create a new tirage group:

1. From the Combining Tirage Group window, select the Create a New Tirage Group with the Following Name option.
