Oak wood can affect a wine in a lot of ways--mostly good. If the right amount of oak powder is added the major benefits to your wine will be as follows:

1. Improved stability in the wine's clarity and color.
2. A reduction or softening of the harsher characters that are commonly associated with younger wines.
3. And, the addition of wood flavors that give an overall smoother and deeper texture to the wine.
