- Grape Stuff - 05-08-2003 Has any winemaker ever tried other types of wood for aging? Why Oak? - Bucko - 05-08-2003 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. - ShortWiner - 05-08-2003 Cherry, too, I believe. |
