Since he was 7-year-old, Ion Staver has traveled through every corner of Moldova, along with his father crafting barrels. Now, at 68-year-old, the citizen of Scoreni village makes the best barrels writes prime.md.

Creating a barrel requests knowledge and skill. You cannot also use just any wood, it has to be either oak, ash tree, locust, or mulberry tree. Of course first stage would be to let the wood dry, until it doesn't turn to stave.

Afterward is an annoying process, the stave has to be arranged to create a circle and the lid is put on. Once the form is done, it is maintained by round circlets from the outside.

Ion Staver claims that red wine has no preference, but white wine is picky.

As any other item you wish to maintain for a long while, barrels have to be taken care of.

The years have started taking their troll, his hearing and health is not as it used to be. His only regret is that those who will follow, will never be eager as him.

A big barrel, which takes a week to make costs around 2200 lei, while smaller ones around 1000 lei.
