Barrels are often synonymous with winemaking, but when it comes to the science, how do they stack up to newer technology of Flextank?

A new 1-year study confirms what Flextank customers have been saying for many years... Flextanks produce an equal, and in many cases smoother, tasting wine to that made in a 2-year oak barrel.

You may have heard of "The Cooper's Rule" when dealing with oak barrels- whereby, generally speaking, in out of every 10 barrels: 6 barrels are of similar Toast, Tannin, OTR, etc., 2 Barrels are High outliers, and 2 Barrels are Low outliers.

Every Flextank is made consistently with the same material and thickness to produce a consistent and controlled result making Flextank what some consider to be the "perfect barrel".
