Old Barrels

A neighbour is building a new cellar and are after an old wine barrel to use as a table. What do wineries do with the old barrels once they are no longer usable? Any wine makers out there who may be able to help out?

Thanks

One of our local garden shops sells half and whole barrels.

I know in Margaret River and Swan valley, many wineries sell them cellar door for about 100 bucks per barrel.

There a generally ALOT cheaper from wineries. I know at work (mount pleasant) we sell them for under $100 a pop.

Much cheaper than the approx $90-100 for half a barrel from a garden shop.

But the thing is transporting it...

Anyway nice idea.

The going rate for two half barrels with the hoops nailed where I work is a case of Coopers :D
