I dont know how old the barrel is, or how long time since it has been used for masala.
When I put water in it, it ran out,(it was dry) - now after 2 days in water, it seems that it`s stoped.
The reason for doing this, is only for fun, to serve a glass of my own port - I have my own quinta, Quinta de Maria, named after my wife, with 25 grapes

Hopefully after 5 years, this year will be the first to make my own wine, and again... just for fun, Ill try to make some port, Have yoe ever tasted port, made of the grapes , Rondo, Carbernet cortis, and Regent.
Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.
