Wine barrels are typically 55 gallons (that's about 500 lbs full). One of the local brewing clubs likes to get a barrel once a year and then 8-10 people brew the same barley wine to fill it.
 
i've seen this website too. looks like a good deal. are you concerned with leftover wine taste ending up in your beer. that's the only problem i could come up with, and im sure you could do something to clean that up, like fill it with water for a couple weeks and let any undesirable flavors leech into the water. i've been holding out for a used whiskey barrel, but this sort of thing might have to do. also, like david said, i cant imagine trying to fill it!
