Stainless steel fusti tanks are traditional wine storage tanks that feature handles for enhanced portability and a screw-top lid. The tanks can be used in a variety of ways, as settling tanks, for racking out barrels, and as blending tanks, for example, but these are not suitable for long-term storage. A stainless fusti tank can be used in place of a carboy for a generally larger volume capacity, no risk of broken glass, no need for an airlock, and easier cleaning.
