Abstract
The aging in oak barrels is one of the main parts in red wine quality winemaking process. The composition of wood is greatly influenced by the oak species and also by its geographic origin and manufacturing process. Thus, in this review, it has been summarized different papers in which has been studied the wood composition, the incidence of production process and the effect of its use in wine aging.
