What the heck is Bentonite and do I need it?

Bentonite is just one of many clarifying agents that "grab on" to various particles in a wine that make it look cloudy, and pull them to the bottom as they settle, thus clearing the wine. Different clarifiers specialize in clearing different causes of cloudiness- for example, pectic enzyme helps reduce pectins (certain plant proteins) which can create a haze.
