Corks and barrels only dropped for the duration of the event. You can put your unfinished building into storage if you don't want to or can't upgrade it with gems. An unfinished Vineyard will continue to drop coins only.

These answers are from PikaSquirrel. The bold questions are a summary of what I asked.
1. I gather the android players don't get the daily new market grape trade??
Yes, this daily trade feature is only available on iOS.
2. Can you please advise on whether android players will be able to get the kitten and puppy as a prize for the event
These pets are from an event available to iOS and Android players so everyone will be able to see them. Pets from the Baron's Game Tent are not visible to Android because they do not have this feature.
3. is there a limit to the amount of Town buildings you can have and if so what is the magic number?
The maximum amount of Royal Buildings in the game is 43.
(SW postscript: 40 is the Town Building Limit)
4. Can the event be finished without gems and will cork and barrel rate increase?
Event is set up so players will be able to upgrade their Vineyard Estate to max level without the use of Gems to upgrade it. As they upgrade the building more, more of both Cork and Empty Oak Barrel will drop. So after they reach a higher level, it'll become easier.
5. Reports of a cork or barrel not dropping at all when collecting from the Vineyard Estate.
The Vineyard will always drop at least one Cork or Empty Oak Barrel. I took a quick look and don't see any issues.
From SW:
* if you do not receive a cork or barrel, please post which level of the Vineyard Estate you are on so I can pass this on.
* the bandits adventure doesn't drop cork or barrels (well at least not for me either!) but it does drop 13 grapes.
* Ivy's goal is OPTIONAL (the 3 day mini goal). If you don't do it or don't finish it, you only miss out on the reward. The rest of the goal continues regardless. You will see 2 goals in your book at this stage.
* post 2 updates with some of the missing info.
Thanks!
