As a manufacturer with over 25 years of expertise in metal and woodworking products, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory proudly presents the 60-Liter Oak Barrel with Stainless Steel Head and 1/2 Inch Bunghole, specifically crafted for the art of winemaking. Our barrel combines the traditional essence of oak aging with modern stainless steel reinforcement, ensuring durability and hygiene. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million and a global reach spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, we deliver consistent quality to wineries, homebrewers, and distilleries worldwide.
This barrel features a stainless steel head that offers superior corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning compared to all-wood designs. The 1/2 inch bunghole is perfectly sized for standard bungs and allows convenient access for sampling, filling, or cleaning. The untoasted (raw) interior provides a neutral oak character, allowing winemakers to control the toasting profile through their own aging techniques or to achieve a subtle, woody influence without overpowering the wine.
Key Features
- 60-Liter Capacity – Ideal for small-batch winemaking, barrel trials, or aging premium spirits.
- Stainless Steel Head – Prevents leakage, reduces maintenance, and extends barrel lifespan.
- 1/2 Inch Bunghole – Compatible with standard silicone or rubber bungs; easy to monitor and adjust.
- Untoasted Oak – Offers maximum flexibility for the winemaker to customize the toast level through their own methods.

- Heavy-Duty Metal Hoops – Galvanized steel bands ensure tight construction and structural integrity.
- Wine-Ready Finish – Pre-soaked and tested for water tightness; ready for immediate use after sanitation.

All barrels are packaged securely in wooden crates for safe ocean or air freight from our ports in Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Foshan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel ready to use immediately after purchase?
A: Yes, the barrel is pre-soaked and tested for water tightness. We recommend rinsing with hot water and sanitizing before adding wine.
Q: Can I use this barrel for spirits like whiskey?
A: Absolutely. The 60-liter size is popular for small-batch whiskey aging. The untoasted oak will impart subtle woody notes, and you can toast the interior to your preference.
Q: What type of oak is used?
A: We offer both American oak (Quercus alba) and European oak (Quercus robur or petraea). Please specify your preference when ordering. The default is American oak unless requested otherwise.
Q: How long does a barrel last?

Q: Can I order a custom toasting level?
A: Yes, we provide light, medium, and heavy toasting options. The untoasted version is also available for those who prefer to control the toast themselves.
