Wine making can be considered as an art. Right from working the vineyard to picking grapes to storing the juice to finally bottling the matured and ready to consume drink. There are surprisingly many processes and maintenance required.

A wine can also be either called a still wine or a sparkling wine depending on its carbonated (addition of carbon dioxide to create bubbles) or non-carbonated nature. However, when you talk about wine, the fruit that first comes to mind is the grape fruit. Grape fruit is one of the most widely used fruit for producing wine.
There are also two major wine types that are made from grapes, they are the red and the white wines. These wine types are also the most consumed around the world. The reds are made by fermenting the pulp of red or black grapes along with the skins of the grapes. In the making of the whites, the skins are removed and only the juice, collected after the crushing of the grapes, is fermented. Making wine from grapes usually takes a long time and

Apart from having the skills, you also need supplies and tools including fermenters, hydrometers, thermometers, corker and corks, carboys, wine bottles, wine barrels etc. Each is used during the various stages of wine making and contributes in bringing out the desired taste of the brew. A hydrometer is used to measure the gravity of the wine which helps in determining the alcohol percentage. A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the storage area to ensure that the aging of the wine is taking place in the right temperature, which is important.
Similarly wine barrels also play a role during the aging of the wine. They are the containers that hold the wine as it matures. The traditional material used in making wine barrels are wood like oak, chestnut, redwood, pine and acacia. The oak is one of the most widely used wood type in making wine barrels. However, today, commercial wine makers are also using stainless steel or plastic barrels and containers for the same purpose.

michael kohrs outlet stores stages of wine making including development, fermentation and maturation. The need for a stainless steel built is due to the acidic nature of wines. Since grapes contain tartaric acid, it will react with metals when they come in contact. Therefore, steel barrels made for wine making must be 100% stainless or in other words non-corrosive. This is to ensure that the internal surface don't react to the acid content in the wine and alter the nature of the wine itself, defeating the whole purpose of wine making.
While choosing a wine barrel or a wine drum, you have to make sure that it is made from the best wood (if you go for a wooden barrel) or best quality steel that ensures no corrosion during the development, fermentation and maturation processes. Also, make sure that the barrel is absolutely leak proof. This is important because, its duty is of a long term. Another important point is to get the right size of barrel and drum in regards to your winery or cellar's racking system. For example, if you have standard racks, you should go for 55 gallon drum.
