This discussion has come up on and off since the chef revamp early last year (which is when the drink containers were introduced).
Most of the time, the response from chefs on the board has usually been "we don't really need a bigger container than casks". It'd definitely be nice for the higher-level drinks like BoH and Mando wine, but do we really need 30 use stacks of Vasarian Brandy? Don't forget that the larger the stack size, the less often customers come back to your store.
One of the more popular options has been to have the barrel keep it's 1x multiplier, but have it give some other benefit. Longer duration, perhaps: the "temperature controlled" container keeps the drink fresher and more potent. Customers can choose between bigger stacks or the barrel's benefit. Of course, that brings with it some balance issues, which always takes longer to implement.
And it seems the CU brought Artisans into the exclusive club of professions with a Master level schematic that doesn't do anything: the doctor's bag.
