Wow a lot of work has gone into this, so some comments.
The floor tiles/bricks could do with a touch of shinieness to them.
The barrel in the corner seems to have a sharp edge around the top rather
than a flat edge which you'd expect.
Very good looking image. Some answers to your questions below too.

Media in a cone, use a very faint white (transparent) along with the colour
Clear in your colour map or maybe a yellowish pigment along with Clear, and
give it plenty of turbulence (have a look at the source code to my halloween
image on my web page, I used this method for the glow coming out of the sugar
pot).

Same as above.

Experiment on a cylinder, and try rotating the pattern, again I've used this
on the coffee cups in my halloween image so d/l the source code and have a
look.

Like you say there's more than one way to do this, here's what I'd
probably try.
#declare Band_Cylinder = cylinder{<0,0.1,0>,<0,-0.1,0>,3
pigment{Barrel_Colour/1.1} // Makes it slightly
} // darker than barrel.
#declare Barrel_Bands =
intersection{
object{Barrel scale <1.05,1,1.05>}}
object{Band_Cylinder translate y*0.75 }
object{Band_Cylinder}
object{Band_Cylinder translate y*-0.75 }
}
#declare Full_Barrel =
union{
object{Barrel}
object{Barrel_Bands}
translate <wherever you want the barrel>
}
Hope some of that helps.
