Durability/Longevity
While the average oak barrel will last for generations, the actual use for the winemaker is three to five years. Oak wine barrels are only new once and each year the flavor they impart to the wine diminishes by about 30%. Once the useful life of an oak barrel is over, wine makers have little choice but to dispose of the used barrels. stainless Steel Wine Barrels are portable, reusable, virtually indestructible, easy to clean and maintain for infinite reuse.
