I made a furniture stockpile and all my dwarves hauled my 30 barrels full of wine to it, and drink out of it there instead of at the food stockpile. Buh? Are alcohol barrels no longer considered food?

[Lightman]

Did you have a food stockpile with space?

Ah, it turns out I did not. Interesting.

I've had problems with stockpiles similar to this one, I have a food stockpile set only for seeds, but the idiot dwarves take it all to the furniture stockpile...

I have had a barrel of meats transferred to the furniture pile when there was plenty of space left in the food stockpile.  Then they took an empty barrel from the furniture pile and placed it in the food stockpile.

Had the same thing happening here.  Ther suddenly decided that foodstuffs belonged in barrels in the furniture stockpile.  Once I undesignated the furniture stockpile, they hauled the food barrels back where they belonged.

You can also build Dwarven sugar bags (and maybe other food bag as well?) as furniture.

Barrels and bags are furniture. (You can "build" bags the same way you can build coffers, boxes, etc.) The dwarves are paying too much attention to the containers, and not nearly enough to the contents.
