Find the poisoned wine barrel

The emperor of NoLand has 1000 slaves. He also have 10 prisoners to be executed.

There is a festival tomorrow and there are 1000 barrels of wine for the celebration to be given to each slave.

The emperor came to know that one of the barrel of wine is having deadly poison and the person who consumes even a minute amount of it would die in 10 hours. He brought a replacement barrel, but he does not know which one to replace.

There is only 12-15 hours left for tomorrow's festival.

He wants to celebrate the festival tomorrow and if any of the slaves die then everyone would be sad and no body would celebrate the festival.

How would he figure out the poisoned wine barrel and replace it so that no slaves die?
