Oak barrels, vaten, opslag van wijn

What is cheaper than oak barrels and sometimes better?

To use oak chips and oak staves as an alternative to oak barrels has been allowed in France for around 10 years now. And producers do use them. Not so much in the regions that have traditionally always used oak barrels, such as Burgundy, Bordeaux and the rest of the Southwest.

When you get serious about wine, the first thing you learn to hate is the taste of new oak. It’s a childish taste, haughty sommeliers sniff, and only unsophisticated people like it.

Although used-up wine barrels can be turned into items such as planters, wineries generally just throw the things out. Lance Rake isn't a fan of such wastefulness, so he's developed a new use for the barrels. He wants to turn them into cruiser bikes, one of which he's already built.

Te mooi om op te fietsen.

Door de wereldwijde grote populariteit van Bourbon whiskey is de productie van vaten niet meer te volgen. De prijs per vat is daardoor de laatste jaren meer dan verdubbel naar ruim $200,-. Vanwege de hoge vatprijs en populariteit van bourbon kiezen destilleerders ervoor om Bourbon steeds langer te laten rijpen en de vaten daarna te hergebruiken voor andere spirits. Hierdoor komen steeds minder vaten op de aftermarket.

Zo'n biertje heeft wel wat.

Inderdaad is dit volkomen nutteloos!

Mijn oog viel op "De vaten van Chateau Margaux" en natuurlijk het bier. Want ons is ook verlekkerd op echt bier. En nu komt er wat nieuws. Dat wordt in de rij staan.

Oak in winemaking; dissecting the origin, selection and science of barrels

For over 2000 years oak has been a fundamental component in the production, maturation and transport of wine. First used by merchants as a vessel for transporting finished wine, its capacity to transform the liquid within was arguably a serendipitous byproduct of its initial purely practical use. Decisions associated with the preparation and use of oak in winemaking are arguably some of the most influential in defining style, be that regional, site-specific or that of an individual vigneron. Often under-appreciated, the journey of the oak barrel from forest to cellar reveals an intricate and complex story, one of nature, craft and science.

Coumarin compounds from oak barrels could contribute to bitter taste in wine and spirits

Wine and spirits are complex mixtures of flavor and aroma compounds, some of which arise during aging in wooden barrels. Among other compounds, oak wood releases coumarins, but how they affect wine's sensory properties is unclear. Now, researchers have detected and measured six coumarins in oak wood, wine and spirits, showing that a combination of these compounds can produce a bitter taste.

Oak decline

For the next two months or so the wine business’s two great ancillary suppliers, cork producers and coopers, will be anxiously watching weather reports in the northern hemisphere. Damaging frosts such as those that shrank the 2017 wine harvest in Europe have a serious subsequent effect on their bottom lines.

A review of “Le Nez du Vin – Oak”

For those not familiar with Le Nez du Vin, this is a series of aroma and learning tools created by, Jean Lenoir, a Frenchman originally from Burgundy who has been a wine educator most of life. The goal is to give people a core breakdown of aromas in complex liquids via little vials reminiscent of perfumes as seen in this latest release, aptly called, “Oak“.

Neutral Oak

The wine was a technical perfection. It was made with beautiful, ripe fruit by a talented, technically proficient winemaker. The color was gorgeous, but there was one big problem. I could not bear to drink it.

The wine tasted like a big California pinot — not, as they said on Seinfeld, that there’s anything wrong with that. The problem was that this wine was from Burgundy.

Winemakers in this Italian Region Eschew Oak for Cherry Wood

“In the past, wooden barrels had a simple function, and that was to transport wine from one place to another,” says Andrea Tella, enologist at Serego Alighieri, a historic Valpolicella winery in Veneto, Italy. “Winemakers would use whatever wood was available to them locally and historically, [and] here in Valpolicella, there has always been a sizable cherry presence.”

Why Some Winemakers Are Embracing New Oak

Aging wine in new oak barrels has a bad reputation in certain circles, and it’s not entirely unfounded. When used excessively, new oak can overpower the fruity or earthy nuances in wine and, in worst case scenarios, may be deliberately employed to hide disagreeable flavors or even flaws.

However, some forward-thinking winemakers have an affinity for using new oak in the cellar. Here’s why.
