i have a 6 month old barleywine which i am planning on adding some oak cubes that i am soaking in a pinot. I added the wine to the cubes in a pint mason jar in plans to soak for a few weeks. i thought it might be a good idea to use my foodsaver and vacuum seal it to minimize oxidation in the wine. i noticed that there were bubbles coming out of the cubes, then it hit me. people use the foodsaver to marinade food. what are your thoughts on infusing (rather quickly) oak cubes, chips, whatever, with the foodsaver, with whatever liquid you are planning on using. would you even need to soak the cubes for a few weeks? it seems like it should work, just wondering what you guys think. no plans to find a quick method, just curious.
