Container for wines, such as a vat and/or a barrel, comprising a container body having a plurality of wooden staves positioned in a circumferential arrangement so as to form a closed body axial-symmetric to a main extension axis (X-X), - a lower base and/or an upper base suitable for closing at the bottom or at the top said container body, - at least one hoop applied externally to the staves so as to compress said staves radially and circumferentially, the radial direction (R-R) being perpendicular to the main extension axis (X-X) and incident to it, wherein - said at least one hoop comprises a circular ring having a discontinuity so as to identify a pair of closure flaps separate from and facing each other, - said closure flaps being mechanically connected to each other by the interposition of adjustable and reversible closure means, so as to permit the tightening or drawing together of the closure flaps to reduce the circumference of the hoop, or the loosening, or distancing of the closure flaps to increase the circumference of the hoop, wherein said closure means comprise threaded connection means, fitted with at least one threaded pin and at least one nut screwed onto said threaded pin, wherein, on at least one closure flap an attachment plate fitted with an attachment hole is provided for the associable threaded pin, wherein said attachment plate is stiffened by the application of reinforcement gusset plates positioned perpendicular to the attachment plate and to the closure flaps, wherein the attachment plate and the relative reinforcement gusset plates are perpendicular to the closure flaps and extend opposite to the staves so as to permit the insertion of a spanner or pliers to block and/or turn the nuts, characterised by the fact that - at least one nut is positioned in the space identified between said closure flaps facing each other to permit the adjustment of the circumference and therefore the tightening of the hoop, wherein the closure flaps are positioned so as to interface radially with the same stave of the container body, wherein the closure flaps are positioned symmetrically in relation to a centreline (M-M) of said same stave. - a lower base and/or an upper base suitable for closing at the bottom or at the top said container body, - at least one hoop applied externally to the staves so as to compress said staves radially and circumferentially, the radial direction (R-R) being perpendicular to the main extension axis (X-X) and incident to it, - said at least one hoop comprises a circular ring having a discontinuity so as to identify a pair of closure flaps separate from and facing each other, - said closure flaps being mechanically connected to each other by the interposition of adjustable and reversible closure means, so as to permit the tightening or drawing together of the closure flaps to reduce the circumference of the hoop, or the loosening, or distancing of the closure flaps to increase the circumference of the hoop, wherein said closure means comprise threaded connection means, fitted with at least one threaded pin and at least one nut screwed onto said threaded pin, - at least one nut is positioned in the space identified between said closure flaps facing each other to permit the adjustment of the circumference and therefore the tightening of the hoop,
