I found this barrel aging chart from Red Head Barrels. I find it very interesting.
I have to admit that math is not my strongest subject. I’m having a hard time understanding the differences in aging time between a 20L barrel and a 200L barrel.
According to the chart, aging wine in a 20L barrel for 24.58 weeks is equivalent to aging in a 200L barrel for 52 weeks (1 year).
I have five 23L barrels, two 50L barrels and two 56L barrels. Who can do the math on those to get me to equivalent to one year in a 200L barrel?
Some of my favorite commercial wines are aged in 200L barrrels between 18-22 months. However, I fear six months in a 23L barrel is pushing it. Maybe 23L is more like 28 weeks equivalent to a 200L?
