I bought a half oak barrel from the garden center which was used to
store port..I hope to fill it from rain barrels we have in the next
heavy rain..Do I have to do anything to it before filling so that fish
will not be affected?

pass it to the left..............

Unless I'm on the right. On the question, I can't imagine that any
alcohol detectable by anything short of gas chromatography will be left
in the wood by now. A bit of sugar, maybe, but I doubt if that would be
in harmful concentration. If Solaara (should be Solera, perhaps) is
worried, then filling the tub and letting it stand for a few days, then
tipping out and refilling should set her mind at rest.
