Wine Barrels

I purchased several wine barrels to do a container garden, tomatoes, squash of several variety, and bell peppers. Everything was growing really good until the plants started producing. The tomatoes are miss-shapened and have a large brown spot on the bottoms. The squash are producing but seem to be stunted and then rot. The only thing that looks good is the bells. Should I have treated the barrels with something? Is the wine killing everything slowly? What could be the problem?

The problem with the tomatoes is blossom end rot due to inconsistent amounts of water during growth
