Laws in several jurisdictions require that whiskey be aged in wooden barrels. The law in the United States requires that " straight whiskey" (with the exception of corn whiskey) must be stored for at least two years in new, charred oak containers. [16] Other forms of whiskey aged in used barrels cannot be called "straight". [16] ASIL Insight: WTO Protections for Food Geographic Indications". Archived from the original on 14 August 2007 .

It is important when cleaning the winery not to use any chlorine based cleaning products. Presence of chlorine is one of the two major contributors to the production TCA, the compound responsible for cork taint. SanitisationMain articles: Drum (container) and Barrel (unit) Blue 55-US gallon (44imp gal, 200L) barrel (drum) The barrel has also been used as a standard size of measure referring to a set capacity or weight of a given commodity. For example, in the UK a barrel of beer refers to a quantity of 36 imperial gallons (160L; 43USgal). Wine was shipped in barrels of 119 litres (31USgal; 26impgal). A barrel of oil, defined as 42 US gallons (35impgal; 160L), is still used as a measure of volume for oil, although oil is no longer shipped in barrels. The barrel has also come into use as a generic term for a wooden cask of any size. a b López-Alt, J. Kenji. "Soda: The Dubious History (and Great Flavor) of Vernors Ginger Ale". Serious Eats.

French oakalso has a significantly higher concentration ofellagitannins (extractable polyphenol content)than Americanoak, leading to greater structure opposed to increased aromatics. Additionally ellagitannin concentration correlates with astringency, with a higher concentration of ellagitannins resulting in a heightened sense of astringency. This may partially explain why French oak appears to suit longer periods of ageing. If I were to summarise crudely the difference in impact upon wine of these oak species it would be that French oak offers less intense vanilla characters and leans more toward subtle extraction of spice, offering enhanced mouthfeel and for the grape to express place. Meanwhile American oak imparts a much more immediate vanilla and coconut character suiting much more impactful reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, the increased OTR also softens rough tannins. Wine barrels typically come in two hoop configurations. An American barrel features 6 hoops, from top to center: head- or chime hoop, quarter hoop and bilge hoop (times two), while a French barrel features 8, including a so-called French hoop, located between the quarter- and bilge hoops (see "wine barrel parts" illustration).

At Mondavi, Russ Rosner, production enologist, has his team fill new barrels with cold water for one day, then inspect for leaks. The barrels are then emptied and sulphured, then later filled with wine. At Matanzas Creek, Dave Ramey is trialling hot water, cold water and no treatment at all. This purpose of this fill is to encourage the barrel to seal itself, avoiding future costly wine leakage. It takes at least 80-90 years of growth before American Oak is ready for harvest and 150-200 (300 in extreme cases) years for French and Central/Eastern European oak.

Staves and Segments

Whether alcohol and/or malolactic fermentation has taken place in barrel, steel or some other vessel a large percentage of wines will spend a period of time post-fermentation ageing in barrel. Having already covered the chemical composition of oak and the impact of the most of these compounds on a wine the vigneron then has the decision as to how long they wish to age their wine and in what size barrel. The opening at the center of a barrel is called a bung hole and the stopper used to seal it is a bung. The latter is generally made of white silicone. Wooden casks were also used to store mineral oil. The standard size barrel of crude oil or other petroleum product (abbreviated bbl) is 42 US gallons (35.0 impgal; 159.0 L). This measurement originated in the early Pennsylvania oil fields, and permitted both British and American merchants to refer to the same unit, based on the old English wine measure, the tierce.

Some wines are fermented "on barrel", as opposed to in a neutral container like steel or wine-grade HDPE (high-density polyethylene) tanks. Wine can also be fermented in large wooden tanks, which—when open to the atmosphere—are called "open-tops". Other wooden cooperage for storing wine or spirits range from smaller barriques to huge casks, with either elliptical or round heads.

Customer reviews

Recent advancements in technology have allowed cooperages like Seguin Moreau to more consistently select wood using objective data. Draft maps showing enological potential of oak based on quality-data gathered over 15 years of purchasing now direct their procurement policy. This data-led procurement allows them to consistently choose wood based on quality opposed to subjective characteristics such as historical significance of place.
