RE: Barrel questions
Posted by triodesteve on February 10, 2009 at 07:40:32:
About 25 cases per barrel....a barrel gives off flavor for about 2 vintages of wine, after that it's considered neutral in flavor. It can still be used for a long time if you take care of it. But don't forget that if you use barrels you have to pay people to empty, wash, and refill the barrels, ...that's where the real cost lies.
