Importing wine in kegs, logistically possible?
Starting up a wine dedicated project in Vietnam. Would be interested to get comments on the following:
1) Imported wine spends one month in average during sea shipping afterwards there is a dedicated warehouse with temperature control of 14-16 degrees Celsius (57.2-60.8 F), 24/7
2) Kegs turnover seems a problem in this case
what would be the real life span of the wine in kegs after keg is tapped in both cases : SS keg, single use keg.
Everything above is assuming the wines were keg packaged in proper conditions.
Does anybody have similar experiences? Thanks in advance.

- Returning kegs could be costly even if there is a special pricing with forwarder.
- Single use kegs are not providing the same degree of wine protection that the SS ones do.
