Spice sulphur

Previously used agent for the desulphurization/preservation of wine barrels or sulphurization of wines. In this process, sulphur slices were sprinkled with, for example, aniseed, fennel, dried flowers, currants and other aromatic ingredients. As a desired side effect, the burning of the sulphur was intended to introduce the aromatic substances of the essential oils into the wine. Today, such aromatisation is prohibited by wine law.
