In the courtyard of the Noilly Prat production facility in Marseillan (France), old oak barrels are stored for a whole year. The seagulls from the nearby coast come every day. The employees also describe the approximately 6% evaporation from the old oak barrels as the seagulls' share. In summer, the barrels are sprinkled with water three times a day to swell the wood and thus reduce evaporation
