Barrels – we rarely acknowledge their importance, but without them we would be missing out on some of the world’s finest wines and spirits. For over two thousand years they’ve been used to store, transport and age an incredibly diverse array of provisions around the globe. In this comprehensive and wide-ranging book, Henry H. Work tells the intriguing story of the significant and ever-evolving role wooden barrels have played during the last two millennia.
Offering a new way of thinking about one of the most enduring and successful products in history, Wood, Whiskey and Wine is a must-read for everyone from technology and history buffs to wine and whiskey aficionados.
Henry H. Work is a cooper who has worked in the vineyards of the Napa Valley and California and with the whiskey distilleries of Kentucky. He has written extensively on the subject, including for Practical Winery and Vineyard and Australian and New Zealand Grapegrower and Winemaker magazines. A native of the USA, he now lives in Tavira, Portugal.
