‘Straight answers. No barrel spin. Reduces the chaos. Simpler.’
‘Neutral Barrels, Temporary Totes, Neutral Wine, Endless Loss Every Time.’
"Neutral barrels aren’t neutral — they’re a trap for your quality and margins. Totes are a ticking timebomb – both offer false economies."
Of all traditional barrels in use, ≈75% are neutral.
That’s 3 out 4 of all barrels in use – some use more, some less.
All wineries need small tanks and use IBC totes.
That is tens of millions of total units in use – many doubling up and all have significant shortcomings.
All are ineffective at efficiently adding quality. They add cost. They drain labour. They slow aging cycles. They suffocate margins. Traditional barrels need constant topping, more space — all while offering inconsistency, reduced oxygen transfer rate per litre with a limited lifespan. Totes are a ticking spoilage clock for small tank needs. A shorter effective lifespan for both adds more cost and extra waste. Both lead to wine downgrades. Overused in the underserved large premium volume market ($20-$60 RRP).
