Wine Barrel Bung

A barrel bung is a durable stopper designed to securely close the bung hole of a wine or spirit barrel. Traditionally used during barrel storage and maturation, it provides a snug fit that helps keep the barrel opening sealed and protected.

For repurposed barrels, a bung is an ideal finishing touch. Once a retired wine or spirit barrel is converted into furniture, décor, a display piece, planter, table or other feature, the original bung hole can remain visible. Fitting a bung fills this opening and gives the barrel a more complete, authentic appearance.

These bungs may show minor marks, staining or signs of previous use, which complement the natural character of reclaimed barrels. Depending on the original cooperage, they may also feature embossed branding.

Ideal for: restoring or finishing repurposed wine and spirit barrels, replacing missing bungs, covering exposed bung holes, and adding an authentic cooperage detail to barrel furniture and décor.

Please note: intended primarily as a finishing component for repurposed barrels rather than for sealing barrels intended to hold liquids.
