The supernatants from each sample are combined into 50ml volumetric flasks while the precipitates are resuspended in another 10ml of 50 percent aqueous methanol, and two subsequent extraction-centrifugation cycles are repeated. The final precipitates are discarded. All supernatants from the same samples are combined in one volumetric flask, and the final uniform volume of the supernatants is adjusted with aqueous methanol (up to 25ml) before tannin analysis.

Explanation:
Supernatant - Definition: the liquid above some solid precipitate which has settled from it
(super = above‚ over; natant = swimming)

"Industrial Processes
White wine is produced on site in the following manner. Grapes are crushed and the juice is allowed to settle for a time. The relatively clear juice is decanted to another tank for fermentation. The remaining juice and grape mixture is allowed to settle further and depending on the condition of the supernatant additional juice is transferred to the fermentation tank".
