It's common for winemakers to produce their wines in oak, stainless steel and even concrete. But what about glass?
Drinking wine made from grapes that spend a lot of time hanging around oak vessels often feels a bit like listening to a comedian who idolizes Rodney Dangerfield. It’s hard not to roll your eyes occasionally at the forehead-slapping lack of subtlety.
The qvevri is a simple terracotta amphora, and the porous vessel allows for oxygen transfer between the air outside the qvevri and the wine itself. The material is neutral and won’t add flavor to the wine, but the oxygen transfer lends the wine a deep, rippling texture that has an effect on the mouthfeel of the wine.
Stainless steel tanks were introduced in the 1950s, and winemakers began fermenting, aging and storing wine in them. The goal was to create an inert vessel that would practically eliminate the wine’s access to oxygen and wouldn’t impart a flavor on the wine.
