Oxygen transmission rate in American oak barrel staves used for wine aging: Influence of wood macrostructure

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Oak barrels are widely used in wine and spirit aging, where oxygen transmission plays a key role in the development of chemical and sensory properties. In cooperage, stave selection is traditionally based on grain width; however, the extent to which grain and wood macrostructure determine oxygen transmission under barrel conditions ...
