If you're in the market for an Old World look, Fontenay makes vintage flooring from reclaimed wine barrels. The Cooperage collection has stamps and markings from the barrel head; the Wine Infusion collection comes from the inside of the barrel and is naturally stained by the wine; and the Stave collection is made with the outside of the barrel and shows markings from the hoops. Pricing starts at $32 per square foot.

$32/ sq ft!?! not a chance. these companies really need to take a class in economics. reclaimed or not, this is nowhere near worth it especially when there are so many other options out there including bamboo at $0.89/ sq ft.
I was waiting for someone to say something about price.
It may hit a niche market… I can’t see it being anything more than small quantities to maybe do a wine cellar floor with. It’ll be the “I just gotta have it to impress my friends” client.
well price aside, they look amazing! would be perfect for a rec-room, kids room, patio/sunporch or wine cellar (obvi)! count me as a fan đŸ™‚
Expensive, indeed, but perfect for a wine cellar.
