Default Wine barrels question

G'day All,

I have a couple of large wine barrels that I've connected up to catch
rain water off the garage roof. Works well, but at this stage the water
from them still smells strongly of red wine. I suppose that will wear
off when they've been filled/emptied/filled a few times.

My questions a Will this wine-flavoured water, which I'm assuming is
pretty acidic, harm my native plants? Is it OK for the lemon tree? What
about vegies?

Any thoughts?

Mark.
