They probably opened it up because they are going to put wine it it. They still use it even after 150 years. The air probably had a very strong/rich wine smell in it.
To clean it and understand how you maintain a living 150 year old thing and then put fresh wine in it. The barrel has a living bacteria ecosystem in it that you have to maintain in order to make wine in it
Well, the barrel is 150 years old and it's still in use every year. I think it's pretty cool that this thing that predates the internal combustion engine is still in use regularly making wine. I just don't run into many things like that in my modern day-to-day life
after the interviewer was in awe........ and shocked to see , how a wine barrel can have this secret door knocked down, he then asked the wine dude, 'so where's the wine i'm supposed to taste from these barrels?'.....wine guy replies. 'oh......i durank it awl"......................'please, come see my record collection.'
It did! Well, a little bit. The point is the barrel is 150 years old and he's still using it every year to age wine. It has it's own ecosystem of bacteria inside that keep it functional
You could definitely drink it. It might not taste so good..... in reality wood breathes so you have to constantly top up a barrel with more wine (or beer or scotch or whatever is in it) so that it stays full. If you let too much evaporate out through the wood then the air that fills the space lets other bacteria grow. That's actually how sherry is made. But assuming the wine was 150 years old and hadn't evaporated for some reason it still probably wouldn't taste so good. Wine is a heterogeneous mixture, meaning it is a bunch of different things mixed up together and given enough time they will all separate according to their own specific gravity. So the sediment that provides all the color would all settle to the bottom, then you'd have a bunch of water, and floating above that on top of the water you would have the alcohol. That's what happens in a bottle over a super long time. The point of this video was that seeing a barrel that was constructed before internal combustion engines were around still being put to use making wine each year is pretty amazing and rare.
@@devenishwines6308 Great explanation, thank you! As many other viewers I thought the barrel should be full of wine, but now I understand the value of the barrel itself. Amazing 😊
That is true, but they must have used something like it. Maybe beeswax, or pitch with horse hair or straw. It's super similar to wooden boats: They'd dry out if you had to haul them out of the water and the wood would shrink. before you put a small wooden boat back in the water people would sometimes fill it with seawater so the planks would expand again and make it water tight
Actually we were opening it up to get it ready for putting wine in it. He ages wine in it every year. That's what's cool about it. It's 150 years old and still in use. Works great. I've got some of the wine in my warehouse now
@@nedicusmaximus7813 could be, but that wasn't clear to most people watching the clip. Anyway why did they decide to crack open the front part? Not sure what that piece is called in winery terminology.
That's the whole point. The barrel is 150 years old and he still uses it every year to age wine in. This is a video of us opening it up and preparing it to hold wine for that vintage.
It's a150 year old cask thats still in use and has a living environment of bacteria in it to make the wine each year. It's amazing this thing is still functional. I think that's really cool
Yeah. I'm from a place with a lot of wooden boat building and there were a lot of similarities between how you care for an ancient wood barrel and how you take care of an old wooden boat
We were opening and cleaning the barrel to then put wine in it. The barrel has a unique culture of bacteria in it that helps the grape juice become the wine that Danilo wants it to be. I made the video because it's super rare and kind of crazy to find a barrel that predates internal combustion engines still in use today
@@devenishwines6308 It is very cool thanks for the response! I'm sure if I check thru the channel I can find some pour video's and whatnot. But yes very neat to see inside a barrel that old. It's rather fascinating how "clean" they stay inside, suppose that's the power of alcohol. If only us humans could handle it so well lol
The barrel is 150 years old. It's been used for making wine for 150 years. So it has a unique culture of bacteria in it now that help make the wines that are aged in it each year
Is this not about a 150 year old barrel that is still in use? A 150 year old barrel that is practically a living thing that has it's own environment in it? Was the video in fact about a Giraffe who collects baseball cards? Was the video about recycling E waste? No, the video was in fact a documentary style video about opening and maintaining a 150 year old barrel. The only thing fake here is your outrage
who thought it was full
Me
LOL ME
I was waiting for the river of whisky thinking oh boy Campbeltown loch all over again but this time I’ll be there 😂😂😂
I was so tricked !!! Then totally disappointed!!!
"Whys the rum gone?"
Someone just set up an amazing 150 year old prank.
The barrel is practically like a living thing at this point. The age a particular wine in it each year and the barrel helps make the wine
I feel like this video was the prank
150 years old unopened barrel with modern taps and gatevalve.
@@KarthikKarthik-gq7vq the barrel was made 150 years ago and it's still in use. That's a very long time to keep using something made of wood
@Ben Vasilinda, How was this a prank?
One minute and forty-three seconds that I'll never get back.
Plus the time it took you to comment.... and now the time you took to read this reply....

I was expecting this to be a video of 150 year old aged whiskey lol.
150 years old air! Wow !!
Ikr what was the point of this
Maybe he farted in it... could have been a good ebay deal..
They probably opened it up because they are going to put wine it it. They still use it even after 150 years. The air probably had a very strong/rich wine smell in it.
No the casket was close.
Is just that OF COURSE after 150 the wine evaporated lol.
Lookin forward to the next non-event
I thought this was cool and interesting. Thank you for showing it.
Thanks!
The one who made the wine is crying he wait a hundred of years and his grandson just gonna open it like nothing
Best anti climactic video yet
I want one of those giant barrels to live in......like Diogenes
I love this comment!
What was the point ?

This guy does know his tools do not need to be 150 years old right?
They work so why change them!
A barrel full of 150 year old darkness. Wow.

Marvelous cask!
Imagine all the flavors inside of the barrel. Wow epic 150 years.
150 años de mierda tomaras
i would have liked to have seen the rest of the process
1:11 Ahh smells like Heaven🤣😆😂
The one who made that barrel pranked his son
And he's doing it 100 year old pliers!
look at the taps on the barrel, they're new and plastic, just because it's 150 years old does NOT mean it hasn't been opened for 150 years
No, the barrel is still in use. That's what's so cool about this: he's still using this barrel That's 3 times as old as him
@@nedicusmaximus7813 that's my point... people think the barrel has been sealed for 150 years

So how did it turn out?

You really smell that rum multiple times. Must be good
Thats awesome
didnt make valves like that 150yr ago.. nice blue ones... all over..
yeah, it's still in use
how can I sue this channel for wasting my time?
Where is wiskey? It's empty((((

The barrel is 150yo, but the tools look older!!😂
I don't just want to see it opened I heard it ages in the barrol so I want to see someone drink it until they are drunk
If there was something in it would you be able to drink it or would it kill you just asking

And the purpose for knocking it open was...? Obviously not how it's filled, or emptied.
