Reddit reviews American Oak Infusion Spirals - Medium Plus Toast

For the record, oaking sticks aren't just used "to make cheap booze taste like less cheap booze".

I'm a home winemaker. Buying an oak cask for aging wine is cost prohibitive, and requires a large amount of maintenance while not in use, making it entirely impractical for home use.

Oaking spirals are an easy way for home users to give their wines and spirits an "oaked" flavor, even if brewing or aging in glassware.
