| | Aging barrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Specialty beers are also sometimes aged in barrels which were previously used in aging harder spirits, thus imparting characteristic and distinctive flavors to the beer; lambic beers are aged in used wine barrels. | | | An aging barrel is a barrel used to age wine or distilled spirits such as whiskey, brandy, or rum. | | | When a wine or whiskey/whisky ages in a barrel, small amounts of oxygen are introduced as the barrel lets some air in (compare to microoxygenation where oxygen is deliberately added). |

| | Barrels are used for the storage of liquids, to ferment wine, and to age wine (notably brandy, sherry, and port) and whiskey. | | | The Romans began to use barrels in the 3rd century AD, as a result of their commercial and military contacts with the Gauls, who had been making barrels for several centuries. | | | A wooden barrel usually has a convex shape, bulging at the middle. |

| | How wines age and improve with time |
| | Fermentation Barrel - After grape juice is produced by crushing the wine grapes, the juice is placed in an air-tight barrel so that fermentation may begin. | | | Aging wine tends to convert the tannins to sediment, and thus removes the astringent taste of "young wines". | | | Tannins are the main preservatives in red wines, and during bottle aging the tannins react with pigments and acids to form new compounds, some of which absorb back into the wine to alter its taste, whereas others settle to the bottom as sediment. |

| | Barrel fermentation - Imparts flavors and characteristics of the wood to wine. | | | Barrel aging or barrel maturation - keeping a wine in cask between fermentation and bottling so that it stabilizes naturally in the presence of small amounts of air and also absorbs some flavor and possibly tannins from the wood, depending on the barrel's age and size, and duration of barrel aging. | | | Used often for full-bodied white wines to impart creamy vanilla flavors and aromas as well as spice. |

| | The Bordeaux barrel, holding 225 liters, is a small recipient in which the wine precipitates the "lies" or dregs to the bottom with greater ease than with a larger volume. | | | The aging of wine in barrel must be very closely controlled in order to define with the greatest precision the exact moment when it is ready for bottling. | | | At the start the wine softens in the barrel but it can also become dry if it stays in the barrel for too long. |

| | Exactly who made the first barrel is not known, but the history of barrel-making is interwoven with the history of wine. | | | The choice of wine for aging must be taken into account because it is not the barrel that will determine the final quality of the wine. | | | Utilizing wood to age wine is complicated as it must communicate a good taste, without allowing oozing; it must be resistant, but have a certain suppleness to allow the working (bending) of the wood while communicating some of its tannins. |

| | In terms of aging, the two biggest contributors to a wine’s ultimate flavor are aging in the barrel, followed by aging in the bottle. | | | Barrel aging can impart strong flavors depending on a number of factors: the type of wood (typically French or American oak), the age of the barrels, and how many times they’ve been used. | | | The process of barrel aging “uses up” the barrel’s flavor imparting ability, so that by the fourth aging, to achieve an equivalent level of “oakiness” the cellar master may need to double or triple the amount of aging time. |

| | Robert Mondavi Winery - The Magic of Oak |
| | Much like the grapes from a particular vineyard, oak will express the terroir of its origin in the finished barrel; the oak species, soil type, rainfall, temperature and sunlight of the forest will all have a bearing on the sensory effects of the barrel and therefore the wine during aging. | | | While oak barrel aging is an ancient practice spanning hundreds of years, today's winemakers look at their barrels very differently from their predecessors. | | | Indeed, the barrel's stylistic influence is so significant that choosing the proper barrel for the proper wine is considered crucial to successful winemaking. |

| | The ABCs of Making White Wine - How is it done? |
| | Barrel aging in general allows the wine to absorb some of the flavours of the barrel, giving it an oaky and smooth taste. | | | White wine is normally aged for less time than a red wine is. It might age for up to a year to give it the correct amount of flavor, or it could be bottled immediately. | | | The crystals are quite harmless, and this process can affect wine flavor, but it is done so nervous consumers do not panic when they see crystals in their wine bottles. |

| | Wines & Vines: Rethinking American vs. French oak - oak barrels used in aging of wine |
| | While there are other determinants of a wine's quality, such as the vineyard and the skill of the winemaker, the period of up to several years in wooden "cooperage" or barrels has a tremendous influence on ultimate wine character. | | | Chestnut, although high in tannin (a by-product of the wood which in proper amounts improves the taste and allows a red wine to age by gobbling up oxygen which would otherwise spoil the wine) is too porous and must be coated with parafin to prevent excessive wine loss through evaporation. | | | As a result, oak is used almost exclusively in barrel aging of fine wines. |

| | Forest Glen Talks About Tannins |
| | Ironically, some tannins have a bitter quality that must be softened over time for a wine to be “drinkable.” Barrel aging brings about considerable softening, but generally, most fine red wines require much longer aging in the bottle, often for years, before overly astringent tannins subside. | | | Tannins, extracted from grape skins and seeds during fermentation, are called the “backbone” of red wine, the vital components for structure, complexity and aging. | | | In fact, with oak barrel aging, tannins extracted during the fermentation process become satiny soft, presenting flavor packed wines so smooth in the finish, they're ready to enjoy - with no further lengthy bottle aging required. |
