Sure - oak whiskey barrels are happy standing up if they are full of liquid ALL THE TIME. They won't be; there will be long periods when the barrels are empty (unless you live in Kauai I guess), which will dry the staves and generally lead to entropy. My next design will use prone barrels, which is cooler to look at anyway...
