24 boards per 160L for wine
5 boards per 100L for beer

Most people would take the space saving of buckets of wine over the "ease" of beer in barrels.

Extra work.
Harvesting shit and stuff->Barrel(Time)->Bucket->Cupboard(160L)
Harvesting shit and stuff(drying too)->Barrel->Drink(100L)
From here is where wine gets more annoying the post production

Wine:
Grab glass->Open cupboard->Lift bucket->Click glass->Put bucket back->Drink
Beer:
Grab tankard->Click barrel->Put tankard back in inventory->Drink

Since you'll be drinking a lot more times than when creating it, overall you probably save clicks on beer compared to wine, it's just that most are post production as opposed to wine being during production you save on all the kiln/h table, and all the other shit.

Overall they're about the same, wine is a lot better and I'd say if you're going for max efficiency, wine is where it is at overall for simplicity and beer could use more recipes and 'boosts' to make it favorable, but so could wine in my opinion.

wine needs more recipes? what? there are plenty of recipes using wine + vinegar

harvest 50 tiles of wheat. sort. replant best 50. put remaining 100 seeds on 7 herb tables for 24 hours. take 100 sprouted wheat and do 4 kiln loads. wait ~5 min for each kiln load/number of kilns. grind 100 grist. get 100L water. harvest 20 tiles of hops. sort. replant best 20, use remaining 40 to make wort x 20 at cauldron. fill barrel.

vs

harvest 8 tiles of grapes, put 24 grapes in press, press, shift scroll best 8, replant. trough remaining grapeseed, put juice in barrel, repeat x20 for a total of 167 tiles of grapes. eat the remaining grape.
