Red wine is characteristically transferred to white oak barrels to mature for a period of weeks or months; this practice imparts oak aromas and ...
{{Convert}} uses unit-codes, which are similar to, but not necessarily exactly the same as, the usual written abbreviation for a given unit.

It is therefore not possible to make an exact conversion between these units. Representative figures for the amount of grapes needed for 100 L of wine are 160 kg for white wine, 130 kg for red wine, and 140 kg for a mixture of red and white wine.
