This picture illustrates a winemaker at Bonitas Winery in Summerland in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia testing a barrel of Gewurtztraminer wine for taste and other quality issues.
In barrel testing, the Bonitas winemaker draws a sample from the middle of the barrel to follow the development of the wine or to check for any faults that the wine may have acquired. Variations from barrel to barrel can develop from the barrel manufacture, from non-uniform cellar conditions, or from a barrel's prior use.
