Pah. Not even close. The Worlds biegest eine Barrel is located in Bad Dürkheim and is called "dürkheimer riesenfass" and could contain 1,700,000 Liter of wine. But instead they put a restaurant in it.

@backpackingchica: Thank you. My other photo turned out too dark as well.

Great picture of the wine barrel! I'm from a town about 40 minutes away, and every time I visit the room seems WAY too dark to get a good picture! Nice article, btw!

@amar: Thank you so much

@vacation deals: Thanks.

@Sherry: I will update that sentence. The taxes are paid by the grape growers / wine makers as users of the lord's land and are paid in wine (not money). Hence the barrel to collect the taxes.

I love the fact that there's a dance floor above the barrel - that's the best idea I've heard! I have a question though that needs a bit more explanation - you said that the barrel used to hold 'taxes' - what do you mean by 'taxes' - I presume it's not money?
