Could I avoid a tainted taste to wine if I filled it just before serving?

The longer the barrel is aged with wine, water or say vanilla the less tannins are released. If you have a new barrel make sure it is not charred - preferably european oak or a used redwine barrel. They remain good for 40 years. All barrels should be aged or cleaned with copious amount of clean water.

what do you mean tainted wine? What is the point of putting it in an oak barrel if you are going to serve it immediately. Barrels are meant to age wines and liquors, not as serving devices.

You need to run a few batches of water, beer, whiskey through the barrel if you want to avoid a whiskey like taste.

I think your wine won't have enough time to get oakey taste if you fill it up right before serving.T

Probably. If you are storing for an emergency, a glass storage container will keep the taste better, as will stainless (and stainless is not breakable). But if it's going to be used from time to time, it ought to be okay.

Not that I have figured out. Honesty just held it over my wine glass and just poured. I was craving my favorite wine and just wanted a glass lol.

I would finish the bottle within the next day or two. For longer preservation the electric ones are best. I've been pretty happy with mine though I do notice a difference in the taste by day 2 for sure. I drink red wines if that is any help to you.

i suppose for a short while, but of course you need to refrig before serving!

No. It's basically an acid in solution. As long as you keep it sealed it will be fine. I keep a mild solution it a spray bottle for quick sanitation and have never had a problem. It's amazing stuff.

Test it before you add sugar. If you're buying it in a bottle the ABV should be printed somewhere.

The top and the decanter are both crystal so it may not be 100% air tight. I do know that the taste definitely doesn't change!

Just rinse it out really well with hot water immediately after finishing the beer. The person filling will rinse it again when you go for a refill.

According to the instructions beverages with alcohol content over 7% may harm the dispenser and beverages containing citric acid should not be left in the dispenser overnight. I'm returning this item as I planned on marinating pineapple in vodka for a Christmas party.

Nope. I used mine straight away and had no issues with taste, smell, or anything.

You can drink it then, but it gets better with age. I like to wait 6 mos. It also depends on the type of wine. Cabernet needs to age more than say Cianti.

Filling and pouring OK buy only supposed to use for water. Sangria may cause plastic to leach. Don't know for sure.

I am not a chemist, but I would think you could. Some wine is sold in small plastic like bottles. Also lemonade which is very acidic can be served in it. The fruit in Sangria would be like lemons in lemonade. Maybe ask someone with a chemistry background. It woulk LOOK pretty in the container. Have a good summer.

Absolutely no problem, keep the jar closed and you will be happy with the quality. Keep it in thd fridge, when you serve it, not too much sifup. Have fun

Yes, and no, you won't die - red wine may dye the not-terribly-poisonous plastic, though. Folks store wine and alcohol in plastic all the time [box wine, airplane liquor, etc].

Yes, fill it with water and about 1 1/2 cups vinegar and plug it in to let it boil. After it boils and cools down, dump and rinse with water, fill with pure water, let it boil again. After that, the deposits as well as the vingar taste should be gone.
