Sulphur Strips
notes: label: Description
content: Sterilizing wine barrels before reusing them is essential. Like other home winemakers, Francesco Lee washed his barrels and burned sulphur strips inside them to eliminate any organisms and bacteria that might remain in the wood. This box of sulphur strips was manufactured by Hobs Laboratories in Passaic, New Jersey, a short 29 miles from the Lees’ home.
