@MaryB: Hallo Mary, thanks very much for your kind comment. But these are no beer barrels. Barrique Barrels will be used for wine. One of them has a valume of 225 litres and they are built from french oak mostly.
The wine will be stored for some month's in there and this give him a special taste called tannin.
Barrique Barrels can only be used 3 times to give the wine this taste. They are very expensive ( about 1000€ a barrel ).
