[0002] Oak barrel can give grape wine complex flavoring material, such as vanilla aldehyde, eugenol and other flavor components in oak gradually melt into wine, so that the aroma and taste of grape wine are more rich, round;Meanwhile, suitable oak barrel environment helps grape wine to carry out slow and beneficial chemical reaction, such as tannin polymerization and oxidation reaction, to optimize the structure of grape wine.The airtightness of oak barrel has irreplaceable significance for guaranteeing the stability of wine.

[0003] In the daily management of oak barrel, staff need to monitor the original wine in aging oak barrel regularly, and when checking the liquid level and microbial stability of the wine in the barrel, the plug of the barrel mouth needs to be pulled out, and the original wine in the oak barrel is checked from the barrel mouth using light source (flashlight).This kind of checking operation mode inevitably increases the time of the original wine in the oak barrel exposed to air.Phenolic substances in grape wine (especially tannin and anthocyanin) are prone to react with oxygen, resulting in changes in the color, aroma and taste of grape wine.Excessive oxidation will make grape wine lose freshness;airborne bacteria have the opportunity to enter the wine and grow and reproduce in it, and the growth of mold may bring bad moldy smell to grape wine, reducing the quality of grape wine.In large-scale grape wine brewing, the number of oak barrels is large, and this traditional checking method makes the staff spend a lot of time on the checking work of oak barrels, resulting in low overall work efficiency and increased production cost of grape wine.
