largest wine barrel
What is the largest barrel size? Is it a hogshead? âJason, via the Internet. Actually, the world's largest wine barrel is considered to be the Heidelberg Tun, contained within the cellars of Germany's Heidelberg Castle. It was built in 1751 from 130 oak trees by Prince Elector Karl Theodor, and it stands 7 meters high, 8 1/2 meters wide, holds 220,000 liters (that's more than 58,000 gallons) of wine, and has a dance floor built on top of it.
