Hey now, there are great wines aged in stainless. And even more aged in concrete. And yet more aged in neutral oak, which has been used so many times it no longer imparts the oak character. If the quercetin -> oak link holds, I would expect it to also appear in lower levels from neutral barrels.

Would be super interesting to know.

I never said bad, just cheap ;)

I didn't know about natural oak, super cool

Also should qualify cheap. A lot of people likely picture a much lower price point than where one might find stainless, concrete, etc

Fair fair, cheap != bad, especially in wine.
