I have been noticing that every week I am adding much more top up wine to my 23L vadia barrel. It must be this ridiculous hot dry weather we're having in Texas for the past several months. Even the furniture and woodwork im my house is drying up. I understand that one of the great benefits of the barrel is the evaporation and concentration. But if I am adding back wine from other kits or cheap top up wine am I really getting the full effect of the concentration? SO . . . what if I top up the barrel with marbles? Over several months would that make the wine too concentrated?
