Problems solved by technology

Deposits intended for wine aging in the prior art are casks made of oak, in which the different controls required during the aging process can not be performed with complete efficacy.
In addition, a thorough cleaning of the casks can not be performed.
Therefore, their useful life is reduced to a short period of time.
Manufacturing oak casks is a complex and virtually handcrafted process and the storage properties they offer are limited, since they are elements with a circular section, and they longitudinally have a greater diameter in the central area than at the ends, making it necessary to use wedges or structures to achieve proper storage under minimum conditions.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention is a deposit, which temporarily stores wine so that it acquires and develops its qualities, so that it can later be a crianza or reserva wine according to the time it remains in the deposit.

[0019] The deposit of the present invention functions similarly to a wooden cask. The deposit includes a metal structure, preferably of stainless steel and a generally polyhedral configuration, forming the edges and vertices of the deposit. The side walls are made up of tongue and groove wooden boards, laterally supported by a metal frame that is screwed onto the metal structure forming the deposit. The bottom of the deposit is also made of metal and is tilted towards the front where it has taps for emptying and decanting the wine. The upper cover, also made of metal, is fixed or removable and includes a wide opening provided with a sealed closure.

[0020] The metal frame holding the lateral sides, formed by wooden boards, is removable. The metal structure in the depo...

Abstract

A deposit with similar functions to those of a cask for fermenting, aging or storing wine includes a metal structure preferably of stainless steel and a generally polyhedral configuration, forming at least the edges and vertices of the deposit, wooden side walls invariably joined to thr structure, a metal bottom welded with an inclination towards the front, where it has an emptying tap and / or decanting tap, and a metal or wooden, fixed or removable upper cover, including a wide opening provided with a sealed closure.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention pertains to the field of wine storage.
