METHOD FOR CONTRIVING AN INSERT IN A RECEPTACLE, MEANS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD, AND RECEPTACLES PROVIDED WITH SUCH MEANS

摘要

A method and receptacle assembly for allowing liquids to contact wood for the treatment of wines, juices, or other liquids use an insert structure having a plurality of flat wooden elements which are wedged between opposing pairs of seats within a receptacle which may be made of stainless steel or plastic. The wooden elements which, more specifically, may be planks, are inserted in a small opening and secured within the receptacle to, effectively, form a wooden structure larger than the opening would accommodate. An elastic device may be used to help hold the wooden elements in place.
