ABSTRACT:
An infusion apparatus for use with standard wine barrels to impart oak characteristics to a wine includes a permeable sleeve member consisting of one or more sleeve sections, each sleeve section containing a plurality of small oak staves, and terminating in a fastener for attachment to the wine barrel bung. The sleeve member sections are inserted through the bung hole of the wine barrel, and fastened to the bung for attachment. This enables the winemaker to achieve an oak extraction level of a new barrel with one load of the infusion sleeve over a reasonable period of time.
