The wood also keeps the wine

The municipality associates these works to Faia and also refers to tannaria in Basto and Refojos. The container is part of the wine culture as much as the vineyard. In the Ethnographic Court of 24 September 2023, dedicated to the arts and crafts, Faia introduced the oil tankers. The municipal news shows how this knowledge was also chosen to represent the parish at a collective party. The episode does not confirm the existence of a visitable workshop today. The presentation of the parish adds the manual manufacture of footwear to its craft traditions. The wood of wine containers is thus part of a more varied working memory, without identifying today's artisans or workshops here.

To understand how a container is built, it is worth knowing two words of the craft. The Lourinhã Museum identifies the trims and rims as central elements: wooden pieces form the body, while the rims involve them. The description highlights the work of the curvature and thickness of the trims. It is a general explanation of the tannaria, used here to read the objects; it does not document the sequence of manufacture of a workshop of Faia.

When looking at a pipe, look for the vertical lines between pieces and the rims that cross the set. Compare later with the wooden base of a punch: a material can be cluttered to support a foot or worked on several pieces to form a volume. The finished object holds shape, fit and use decisions.
