Generally, wine is stored in oak barrels. So, friends, do you know how the wooden barrels for wine are produced?

Oak barrels are made from natural oak. Roffer and summer oaks produced in Europe, and American white oaks in the United States are the three most commonly used oaks.

1. The production of oak barrels has almost harsh material selection and production process: the growth of oak is very slow. Generally speaking, only oak trees over 80 years old can be used to make oak barrels. Moreover, the maker only selects the trunk from the root to 9 to 15 meters above the ground to make oak barrels, and the rest is used for other purposes. The selected oak is left in the shade for about 18-36 months to naturally evaporate the moisture and decompose the inferior tannins.

2. Oak bars will be roasted in the production process. The control of temperature and time is an art. The strength of roasting and the length of time will bring different aromas to the wine, such as cocoa, chocolate, roasted Aromas of almond, toast, etc.

3. In addition, the production of oak barrels must also ensure that there is no water leakage or air leakage. When the oak chips are put on the "tightening spell", they are polished, which is exquisite in craftsmanship, beautiful in appearance, and exudes a strong and charming oak aroma. Oak barrels are considered successful. The oak barrels used for the wine are all high-quality materials, not inferior oak barrels. Only this kind of oak barrels can truly bring out the effect of the wine.
