+--- Thread: More Oak Talk....Just Curious (/thread-19298.html)

Has any winemaker ever tried other types of wood for aging? Why Oak?

Trial and error....... oak imparts the best flavors, has a tight grain, is sturdy and workable.
Wine has been placed in many other woods, to include redwood and chestnut.

Cherry, too, I believe.
