ABSTRACT:
An infusion tube for use with standard wine barrels to impart oak characteristics to a wine. A quantity of small oak cubes are placed inside a section of perforated tube and the ends of the tube are sealed. The perforated tube is then inserted through the bung hole of the wine barrel, and the bung hole sealed with a bung member. This enables the winemaker to periodically replace the wood cubes by removing the infusion tube through the bung hole, replacing the wood cubes, and re-inserting the infusion tube back into the wine barrel.
