I am using wine barrels (halves) as planters. After 5 yrs, I lost one due to fungus growth on the inside of it. There has been no paint or stain applied to the inside, but of course the barrel did have red or white wine and so is stained. I looked through MANY of your questions - nice job!
You could use a product called Boracare on the barrels but you would be required to seal the inside of the wine barrel after application. The red/white wine stain will not affect the application, only if it were stained with an actual wood stain or sealant.
