But barrels can be moved more easily, stored anywhere, and don't turn beer into vinegar. I also feel that for extended hunting trips or general expeditions, a barrel of beer tossed in the wagon is always handy to have.
Actually, that's 160L 8x8 filled with 2x2 items = a 4x4 grid of items, thus 16 buckets or 160L of filled buckets. However, a barrel's footprint is more compact than that of a cupboard. (And for the argument, a cupboard has a more compact footprint than a large chest someone mentioned somewhere.) I can't rightfully tell you how much more compact the barrel is and if it's enough to make up that 60% increase in storage.
Ah, but while you can carry a barrel and a chest, you cannot carry a filled cupboard.

The problem is an LC has a capacity of 120 L of buckets rendering the beer transport advantage null and unless you are running a large village, there are very few situations where you would need 240 L of wine.
An enemy will only fight if he believes he either has a chance to win, or you've backed him into a corner and he's fighting for his life. A completely crushing victory provides an enemy with neither.

Going to have to agree here. You're going to have to have a very large starting FEP value to make bierwurst worth the effort for the type of FEPs it gives. Some of the other foods that take a wide variety of ingredients (birthday cake, creamy cock, etc.) at least provide a good variety of FEPs and/or FEPs you don't get a lot of choices on for variety.
