Beans: Small bean-shaped pieces of wood added to wine during winemaking to impart oak flavors. Less expensive than oak barrels, beans are used primarily in inexpensive wines. They are rounder in shape and thought to add fewer harsh flavors than oak chips.
橡木球:在酿酒过程中加入小的豆形橡木以增加葡萄酒的橡木风味。成本要比橡木桶便宜,因此主要用于便宜的葡萄酒中。橡木球形状更圆,与橡木片相比,减少了粗糙风味物质的添加。
