Answer 1

When wine is needed for bottling, it’s taken from the barrels on the bottom row, and these barrels are filled with an equal amount of wine from the next row up. Then the barrels on that row are topped up with wine from the row above and that process continues until the top row is reached. Finally, at the end of the process, new wine isadded to the barrels on the top row. In this way, the characteristics of the older wine are taken on by the younger wine and the quality of the wine is kept consistent.
