Economic-environmental impact analysis of alternative systems for red wine ageing in re-used barrels

When wood comes into contact with wine, organoleptic properties valued in oenology are generated, which are lost over time and barrels use, so alternative processes are currently used into old barrels as adding wood chips, sticks and staves for keep those properties; however, the environmental and economic impact of the use of these alternatives is not known. This article presents a life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic analysis for those...
