  Tartaric acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate, known to the ancients as tartar, circa 800 CE by the alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan, who was also responsible for numerous other basic chemical processes still in use today.
Tartaric acid may be most immediately recognizable to wine drinkers as the source of "wine diamonds," the small potassium bitartrate crystals that sometimes form spontaneously on the cork.
The tartrates that remain on the inside of aging barrels were at one time a major industrial source of potassium bitartrate.

Potassium reacts with tartaric acid and forms a material called potassium bitartrate, and grapes always contain some of this material.
Cooks usually refer to potassium bitartrate as "cream of tarter," but most winemakers call this material "tartrate." By the end of fermentation, new wines are often over saturated with potassium bitartrate.
Potassium bitartrate often causes serious long term stability problems, so all commercial white and blush wines are cold stabilized sometime during the winemaking process to remove the excess tartrate material before the wine is bottled.

Acid in ripe grapes is determined largely by relative concentrations of Ta.A and MA - especially by the potassium salts (Winkler et al., 1974.) The ratio of tartrates (salts of Ta.A) to malates (salts of MA) differs considerably and depends mainly on the environment, and is to a lesser extent cultivar dependent.
Potassium accumulation in the grape vine is therefore enzyme controlled, and may be inhibited by unfavourable conditions for enzyme working (e.g.
Potassium content of soils in the Vredendal vicinity is generally high (pH = 7.5 - 8), especially in the traditional karoo and silty soils.

Potassium containing salts should be administered with considerable care to patients with renal or adrenochortical insufficiency, cardiac disease, or other conditions that may predispose (individuals) to hyperkalaemia (sic)
Oral administration of potassium salts can cause gastro-intestinal adverse effects, and tablet formulations may cause contact irritation due to high local concentrations of potassium.

Potassium bitartrate stability is also achieved by chilling (with or without seeding), ion exchange, or combinations of both.
Wine can support a supersaturated solution of KHT because portions of the tartrate, bitartrate, and potassium ions may be complexed or bound with other components and thus resistant to reaction and precipitation.
For example, condensed polypheonols interfere with bitartrate precipitation, suggesting that removal of a portion of the polyphenols, by addition of protein fining agents prior to cold stabilization, may enhance subsequent KHT precipitation.

 choline bitartrate - cream of tartar info
But it is important to read the fine print and make sure it says "choline bitartrate", since it is the bitartrate that appears to do the job, not the choline itself, and some of the choline supplements are made from other choline compounds.
warnings about tartrates, bitartrates, or tartaric acid, which are found in grapes and wine, but it would be good to check with your doctor first, since they are acidic and too much (however much that is) may affect your digestion.
Taking 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar has approximately the same amount of bitartrate as four 250mg of choline bitartrate, so this is certainly enough.

It is used chiefly as an ingredient in foods (as baking powders and hard candy), medicines, and in electrolytic tinning of metals such as iron and steel.
It is also called ‘potassium hydrogen tartate,’ ‘potassium bitartrate,’ ‘potassium acid tartrate.’ It first appeared in print in 1662.
Merriam-Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary says that it was “probably called that from its being the choicest or most essential ingredient in tartar.” And ‘tartar’ or bitartrate of potash (acid potassium tartrate), which is present in grape juice, is a substance deposited in a crude form in the process of fermentation.

Precipitation of the potassium bitartrate resulting from the use of potassium bicarbonate is brought about by cold stabilization.

In this basic procedure, about 2-3 grams of potassium bitartrate are added per gallon and 2-3 weeks allowed for the precipitation to run its course.

These tartrate crystals are quite apparent at the bottom and sides of fermentation vessels and can occasionally be found in bottles of red wine as red stained crystal deposits or attached to the bottom of the cork.
It is because of the thermodynamics involved, that it requires a long time for the solution to change from a supersaturated solution to a reasonably stable, just saturated solution, through the deposition of KHTa crystals.

 mrwizard - WineMaker Magazine: Crystals & Wine Fridges: Wine Wizard
All grapes have tartaric acid and potassium as they naturally accumulate in the grape during the ripening process.
Sometimes during the aging process, if the crystals have something (like the rough inside of a barrel) they can use as a “seed” and grab onto, they will be encouraged to come out of solution in their solid form.
This acts as a seed crystal for the bitartrate ions, forcing them into solid form (even when they would remain soluble in their ambient wine conditions).

Unfortunately, what is sold there as "cream of tartar" frequently has been NOT potassium bitartrate, but rather a mixture of calcium sulfate (Plaster of Paris), monocalcium phosphate, fumaric acid, and corn starch.
If the sales person cannot guarantee that what they offer is potassium bitartrate, don't buy it, at least for this purpose.
This involves the reaction of cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate, KHC4H4O6) with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) to produce Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate, NaKC4H4O6).

 Clos Pegase - Estate Winery - Sedimentarily Speaking
Tartrates are crystals of potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar) formed from the potassium and tartaric acid naturally present in grapes and wine.
The development of these crystals and their tendency to precipitate, or "salt out," is enhanced by cooler temperatures.
The only option a winemaker has for preventing this is to cold-stabilize the wine before bottling by chilling it to near freezing temperatures for several weeks and then filtering it.

 Norlock Refrigeration meeting the needs of Industrial and Commercial applications
Potassium also exists in grapes, and when these two things bind together under chilly conditions, they form little potassium bitartrate crystals, which then settle to the bottom of the bottle.
Since the tartaric acid and potassium are natural components of grapes, they cannot really be removed.
To make sure crystals don't form in the consumer's home, therefore, the winemaker forces all crystals to form at the winery.
