Read this scary article! Opus One sues a maker of wine barrels, alleging cork taint (TCA) in the barrels. Wow.
There are many reasons not to age wine in wooden barrels: They leak. They are expensive. They have a limited useful life. They are more work to maintain. Stacking them in barrel racks uses up more winery space than ceretain other forms of storage. And they can be infected.
