Sediments are the particles that come from skin, stems and seeds of grapes that were crushed and fermented for a short time to impart tannins (which add a dimension of structure to the wine).
Wine makers do not employ the use of egg in wine, but it is used in the making of champagne and beer as a way to rid the sediment from the final product.

dregs
Yes they are simply part of the grape that is left over. Drink the wine by slowly pouring it into your glass try not to shake it you may want to leave the last once in the bottle as it will have the highest concentrate.
The sediment at the bottom of the river indicated the presence of pollution in the water. After the wine had been sitting for a while, sediment began to form at the bottom of the bottle. The archaeologists carefully sifted through the sediment to find any artifacts or relics from ancient civilizations.
A decanter is an object that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid which may contain sediment. Essentially, it used for wine to increase the taste and quality.
Decanting is used when separating the sediment from wine. This is usually done by pouring a liquid from one solid to another. I hope this helps! :)
To pour liquid from one container to another, as with wine, so as not to disturb the sediment
The dregs are also called the lees.
The punt is the indentation in the bottom of the bottle. When a wine has sediment in it you slowly pour the wine into a decanter and then throw out the last couple of ounces that have the sediment in them. The punt reduces the amount of wine as it displaces volume at the bottom of the bottle.
You would decant a bottle of wine of wine for basically 3 main reasons: 1. To add oxygen to the wine 2. To bring the wine to the proper temperature 3. To separate sediment from older bottles
Yes. It is called Lees. Lees consists of dead yeast, fruit particles, etc.
