The oak is a type of flexible and strong wood enables it to be used for the production of barrels for the ageing of the wine, these barrels are characterized by being waterproof and allow the entry of the oxygen to the wines, by allowing its maturation, softens their texture and brings some of the aromas that characterize the wine.The American oak barrels are more resistant, the oak wood is hard and waterproof. Up to 10 barrels of American oak for every cubic metre of wood can produce and its production is cheapest for producers. The pores of oak are larger in relation to the French oak and wood properties are reflected in the wine easier and less time. In addition to this, American oak contributes less tannins wine and greater variety of aroma in relation with the French oak, so it produces hardness in wine in a short time.The French oak barrels are used to bring elegance to the wines, so it used the best wines, this type of oak ageing process is softer, and for the elaboration of the barrels more amount of wood is wasted producing up to 6 per cubic meter of French oak barrels. By having finer pores in relation to the American oak, it transmits its attributes in a slower manner. Some flavours that brings the French oak wine are vanilla, honey and spices.These attributes may vary in greater or lesser extent depending on the toast that Woods underwent or the age of the barrel.Then we have to the French oak barrels are used to higher quality wines from wineries to offer slower oxygenation despite the high cost of production in relation to the American oak barrels, used to get results in less time and at a low cost.Although wineries also used elaborate their own barrels, currently there are few winemakers who manufacture their barrels of handcrafted and most buy them to specialized cooperages.Finally, the increase in barrels of Russian, Caucasus, and Eastern Europe, is remarkable as they have been called. In principle these barrels have a defined origin, Ukraine, are not generally mention due to its proximity with Chernobyl. Although it is economic barrels and an acceptable medium quality, consumers are more reluctant to this type of barrels when they know the origin, and hence the divergence between the name and the source.
