Bring the style of wine country home with our collection of one-of-a-kind repurposed wine barrel serving pieces. Each unique piece, like this barrel section bowl, is handcrafted using the solid oak wood staves and galvanized metal hardware recycled from retired wine barrels. A typical barrel is specially crafted in select areas of the US and France using high-quality oak, and can account for nearly half of the production cost for wine makers. Plus, depending on the maker's preference, the barrels are only used about four times.

Our industrious craftsmen saw an opportunity to put the discarded barrels to good use. The goods they create possesses a rugged charm and totally unique character. No two pieces are alike and many will display distinguishing qualities such as wine makers labels and color variations from the wine that they once aged. Beautiful, expertly crafted, and eco-friendly, they create a wine-inspired display for any occasion. Available in two sizes.

Many support the idea of not letting what's in a wine barrel go to waste, but some industrious artisans had the same idea about the barrels themselves. By salvaging wine barrels that arrive at the end of their usefulness as aging and storing containers, completely unique and eco-friendly products are born. From the wooden staves to the barrel's metal bands, the creators of this wine country inspired accent repurpose it all.

A staggering amount of wine barrels are thrown away every year. In California alone, 200,000 hand-crafted oak wine barrels made from 200- to 300-year-old trees are discarded by wineries annually. We support the creative reuse of the barrels and are proud to extend the lives of such noble oak. There are artists, crafters, makers, builders, carpenters and all other types of artisans right here in our own backyards, and our hope is that when you think of beautiful, handcrafted products from across the globe, you think of them too. Buying domestically can be more eco-conscious, as it reduces transportation needs and consequently the energy and natural resources expended in the process; this makes us huge proponents of shopping locally. As our reclaimed wood products are in their second lives, you can expect to see blemishes, holes or other scars in the wood. But every scar has a story, and we believe these imperfections give reclaimed lumber its rich character and singular beauty.

Because our wood pieces are finished with natural products, color variations may occur. Additionally, a naturally finished wood will age differently than treated lumber. Due to dryness, small cracks and other imperfections can occur. To care for wood and maintain its natural luster, it's recommended you treat with mineral oil or apply a natural wax, such as bees wax polish or carnauba wax.
