There are various categories of barrels in the world. However, they are usually divided based on size and material. In terms of material, there are two well-known barrels, wooden and steel. On the other hand, there are two types of barrels in terms of size, i.e. small and big.
The size of the barrel can change the quality of a wine by a huge margin. In the case of a small barrel, a small quantity of beverage is stored like five liters. Due to the low quantity, the contact of oak with the wine is more. This leads to a higher concentration of oak elements in the wine. Also, the small barrels fragment the wine in a short period. On the other hand, big oak barrels require a longer period for fragmentation of wine. Keeping this in mind, we here at Bochart, produce small oak barrels as well as big oak barrels of high quality.
