On December 18, 2024, the wine barrel of the “SAVALAN – ASPI Winery” was entered into the Guinness World Records as the “World’s Largest Wooden Wine Barrel.” The construction of this unique barrel took nearly five years. More than fifty highly skilled cooper craftsmen contributed to the design and production of this remarkable engineering project. Due to its size, standard robotic production lines could not be used, and all parts of the barrel were handcrafted. In June 2024, the barrel was installed on the premises of the winery's newly built museum complex.^{[10][11][12][13][14]}
