We specialise in supplying used Port wine barrels and other used fortified wine barrels (including sherry, Madeira and Muscatel). We receive barrels from port wine producers in varying qualities and all and refurbished and fully inspected and pressure tested before they leave our facility. Refurbishment involves replacing any broken staves with replacements taken from the same batch, sanding and cleaning the outside and replacing hoops where appropriate so that the barrels are 100% ready to be reused with absolute confidence.

Whilst we generally have  stock of used Port wine barrels and Madeira barrels, we also have some availability of used sherry barrels and a variety of other used barrels. For larger orders of full containers we generally require longer lead times in order to ensure that the barrels can be sourced and refurbished. For our larger clients we can only guarantee supply based on programmed regular deliveries over a 12 month period, so for example we may deliver a 40’ container once every two months, rather than one large annual delivery. This is because we need to be able to source our supply of stock of used port wine barrels several months or even years in advance in accordance with our clients’ requirements. We also have a range of other used barrels for finishing which we keep limited stock of.

Many of our clients are smaller craft distillers who only require a small number of used port wine barrels, which we can supply in single pallets if required. We are also a supplier of virgin oak barrels and we produce STR casks.
