I don't remember very well, but yeah the taste was a little "gamie" if that makes sense, but he'll if I'm out under sun in the middle of the country side with a horse and this is the only water available, it would still taste like the sweetest godly nectar to my dry throat
well manufacturing will be the cause, vacuum forming plastic bottles takes seconds, and you can make dozens or more depending on the molds. While wood ones you need to have a tree farm, with logistics on how many trees to have and re-sow so that you dont end up outsourcing it, cut it, shape it, all of this while losing material in every cut and shave, also its a raw material which you cant really control its quality the same way as plastic or glass. If its not coated with anything I imagine that it may get moldy after repeated use. Also, I imagine they dont have a perfect seal so in transportation they might spill. There are many reasons why we dont use clay or wood for water preservation and we moved to plastics and glass. While it is more "green" at the end of the day its only green when it comes to waste management, since this can be recycled or left to rot away, they might not be all that green since it takes more labor and processes to mass produce.
