bad luck or good luck

Postby harold01 » Tue Nov 07, 2023 9:38 pm

two days ago I bought a new 100L American oak barrel as I have have a watch alert on gumtree for wine barrels, this morning two came up, 20L and 100L so I have just got back from a four hour round trip after work
Got the two of them for half the price of the new one and I'm not even Irish

if the rings fall off when you pick them up does that mean I dont have to worry about them drying out
