How do you learn the art of making wine barrels?

150 years ago, the cooperage trade was learned thru apprenticeship or from family members. This is a dying trade. If you are lucky and live near a brewing company who ages the spirits in barrels, there might be a cooper on site who might help you. Until then try these sites.
