One of the processes in barrel making is to toast the insides of the staves before the heads (barrel ends) are fitted. Toasted barrels greatly affect the final flavor of a wine, and winemakers can order the level of toast they want. As a rule, the lighter the toast, the more a wine reflects the oak flavors and accompanying tannins. The level of toast can range from light to medium to heavy. A light toast produces wine that tastes of the wood-oaky sometimes tannic. A medium toast generates a browner wood-the wine has vanilla aromas and fewer tannins. A heavy roast turns the wood very dark, and wine aged in such barrels has spicy, smoky flavors that can be reminiscent of roasted coffee or toasted bread.

sign description: The V-hand touchs both side of the opposite flat hand.
