In ancient times, there were very limited resources for carrying wine. And there was nothing to control temperature effectively.

Barrels have always been used for storage and transportation of wine and, are very useful in maintaining the temperature to a great extant.

The wine carriers always have challenges in making sure, the wine isn’t exposed to any heat or temperature.

Humidity is another factor that the transporters have to control. The humidity should remain between 50 and 80 % in transit.

After each delivery, the carrier tanks need standard cleaning before filling it again with wine.

There are certain microbiological tests that need to be performed on wine after loading and before unloading it from carrier tanks.
