Don't see why you couldn't use a wine barrel. You could cut in a hatch on one end and hinge it with a latch to add and remove materials. Not sure how hard it would be to turn once it was full, but it might be worth a try.
That was one of my initial concerns, but after using it over 5 months and running several full loads of compost, there is no sign of wear or tearing of the plastic at the axles. The plastic they make now a days is pretty tough.
quite a deluxe design. i like this design much better than the axial tumblers. no need for a side hatch. Do you collect your drain water for making compost tea?

I just picked up 2 of these exact same barrels locally for 35$ each. (Charlotte, NC area msg me I'll send you the reference).

Any issue with the weight causing the axle to tear the plastic?
