Wine via rail

As noted above, a lot of wine and beer move via intermodal. Wines from Northern Calif. ship all over the country. This is finished, bottled product in cases, on pallets. The same applies to beer. <br /> <br />Sometimes it moves in refrigerated trailers or containers but mostly it just moves in dry-van trailers (non-insulated.) In winter months it might be blanket wrapped, but that's about it. <br /> <br />Kinda makes me laugh at the work that wine-snobs put into maintaining their wine at a certain temp, etc. ... in spite of the fact that, while in transit, it spent days and thousands of miles in an ordinary trailer. <br /> <br />By the way, when these products are moving (truck or rail) they can withstand a few degrees colder temps because the motion (rocking, shaking, vibration) inhibits freezing.
