In the past, barrels were a popular way to store liquids. Today, the barrel serves a different purpose. Steel tanks have many advantages for storing liquids, so today the barrel is used specifically to give the wine a certain flavour note. Many of the barrels are used in several locations during their lifecycle, until they finally start their “second life” as a work of art at BarrelArt.

Barrels used by Austrian winemakers in Styria, Lower Austria and Burgenland mainly come from Europe and are made of different types of oak, acacia or other hardwoods. American oak barrels are also used.

Winegrowers from Tuscany usually fill their barrels with Sangiovese, and winegrowers from Piedmont mostly with Nebiolo. Most of the barrels are made in Italy and France from different oaks with different toasting levels.

French winemakers, especially in Bordeaux and Burgundy, have decades of experience in using different types of wood with different toasting levels, and the effect these have on their wines. Today, in addition to Bordeaux and Burgundy, the smaller barrique barrels are also used in other regions such as Champagne.

The barrels used by Spanish winegrowers are usually made of French or American oak and are often filled with Tempranillo, a very common grape variety grown in Spain. Of course, autochthonous grape varieties are also filled into barriques.

In Madeira, barrels are often filled for a second time, especially if the barrels were only filled for a few years the first time – but with characterful red wines. The term Madeira Case is a quality term for a barrel that has certain quality characteristics in Madeira wine production.

Rum distilleries in particular buy high-quality, used barrels in which to mature their distillates, often for up to 20 years, and then bring them to market as their prestige products or vintage distillates.

In South Africa, the use of wooden barrels – mostly made from French or American oak – is widespread, especially for the Shiraz grape variety. Autochthonous grape varieties are also matured in barriques with a different toasting level.
