There are many vibrating boards on offer that have never been used to make champagne. New goods declared as used can be seen regularly. You can recognize them by the lack of dark brown patina of age, or by the attempt to restore this with glazes, etc. to replace. We source all boards directly from Champagne and guarantee that they have been used there to produce champagne for several decades. Some suppliers saw larger boards into smaller formats, but do not add the missing side strips or only use strips from the hardware store. On closer inspection, the board appears mutilated or cheap. Our vibrating boards always have oak edge strips on both sides and are beautiful to look at from Allen sides. Several competitors have stamping irons with the logos of smaller champagne houses and stamp.
