The Modern Cooperage Advantage Reduced Water & Energy Use Water consumption remains a major downside and cost of wine production. With Modern Cooperage barrels, significantly fewer resources are needed to sanitize, prepare, and maintain your barrels. Lower Carbon Footprint Only high-quality staves (which pack flat, as opposed to full barrels) need to be shipped on a vintage-over-vintage basis. This means fewer recurring container shipments. Fewer Trees Harvested A 100 to 150 year old oak tree will yield enough usable wood for between two and four traditional all-wood barrels. The same tree could supply staves for more than 300 Modern Cooperage barrels. Fewer Barrels Needed Thinner metal outer layers than oak barrels increase storage volume by approximately 25% with the same physical footprint. This means more efficient storage and movement of your wine storage, while maintaining a traditional barrel’s form-factor to integrate with your existing storage solutions.
