What is a Cooper?
A Cooper is a skilled barrel-maker who sets the stage for the most artfully crafted wine. From choosing the seasoned wood for each barrel stave, to hooping and toasting the inside, this is a true art form which is passed down through generations. The mark of a Cooper is the insignia – a symbol of pride and passion for the art of Cooperage.
