Are there any major differences? Are there pros and cons for each?
From my recollection of geometry (and the results of my google search ), it would seem that bulk aging reduces the surface area of the wine exposed to air (i.e. a 6-gal carboy with a 1.75" diameter ~ 2.41 sq.in. versus 30 bottles with 0.75" diameters ~ 13.25 sq.in. total. All are approximations.).
Does anyone have any experience or opinions on this?
Thanks in advance!
