Different Merchants take different items. Some won't take alcohol, others won't accept food, etc. This is true even in vanilla Banished. Since each trading post typically have 6 different merchants, it's usually only one that won't accept alcohol. But good to have a variety of items to trade. Firewood has been the choice of most people.
I'm not good at producing enough firewood for trade (besides, I find making charcoal with a Stacks Burner more cost effective). Ale & wine are usually my best bet. I also usually make a couple of Reed Farms from the Dock Set (make sure they have good access to the shore); they produce over 1000 reeds a year. Also, statues are good if you have extra logs/stone.
