The standard

An explained crystal formation names tartrate for what it is, precipitated salt of the acid, rather than reading it as haze or fault.

Criteria

The crystals consist of tartrate, not of sugar or glass
Their precipitation follows from temperature and saturation, not from spoilage
They are without odour or taste
Their appearance presupposes an untreated or mildly stabilised acidity

Distinction

Tartrate ≠ tartaric acid: the tartaric acid is dissolved, the tartrate its precipitated salt. Tartrate ≠ haze: the explained crystal formation is a firm, settling deposit, not a cloud of suspended matter.
