“Wine Infusion” Hardwood Flooring from Reclaimed Barrels

Lindsay ~ 30 March 2010

If you’re a wine enthusiast, why stop at drinking the stuff? You can remodel your home to enjoy hardwood floors made from reclaimed barrels and tanks.

The Wine Infusion line of flooring from Fontenay is one of several options from the company, which collects barrel heads to mill into different looks for their hand-finished, hand-distressed custom floors. “The Cooperage represents the outside of the barrel head with all its patina, cooper’s stamps and special markings. The Wine Infusion represents the inside of the barrel and retains the natural stain from the color of the wine. The Stave, our newest product, displays the outer sides of the barrel where the hoops have been removed.”

The first picture below is of the Wine Infusion flooring, and the second features the Stave floor. Browse the company’s site for more.
