Purpose
Wineries typically employ winemakers to produce various wines from grapes by following the winemaking process. Winemaking, or vinification, is the production of Wine, starting with selection of the Grapes and ending with bottling the finished wine For the Tokyo University supercomputer see Gravity Pipe. GRAPE, or GRA phics P rogramming E nvironment is Winemaking, or vinification, is the production of Wine, starting with selection of the Grapes and ending with bottling the finished wine This process involves the fermentation of fruit, as well as blending and aging of the juice. The grapes may be from vineyards owned by the winery or may be bought in from other locations. A vineyard is a Plantation of Grape -bearing Vines grown mainly for Winemaking, but also Raisins Table grapes and non-alcoholic Many wineries also give tours and have cellar doors or tasting rooms where customers can taste wines before they make a purchase.

Types and locations
While most people associate wineries with large winemaking regions such as Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley in California or the legendary wine regions of Italy, wineries can be found nearly everywhere. Napa County is a County located north of the San Francisco Bay Area in the U Sonoma Valley is the birthplace of the California Wine industry and often called The Valley of the Moon Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest Wineries do not have to be located adjacent to vineyards; grapes can be shipped anywhere. In addition, people make wine out of other fruits and plants (dandelion wine, apple wine, strawberry wine), so these specialty wineries tend to pop up where the other substances are grown. For example, in Maui, there is a pineapple winery. The Island of Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands at 727 Pineapple ( Ananas comosus) is the common name for an edible Tropical Plant and also its Fruit It is native to the southern part of Brazil
Farm wineries
In recent years many states in the United States have created a new class of winery license, the farm winery, to allow farms to produce and sell wines on site. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Farm wineries differ from commercial wineries in that the fruit which is the source of the wine is usually produced on the farm, and the final product is also sold on the farm. States such as New York have given a special permit to open a satellite store in a tourist area. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous With New York's passing of the Farm Winery Law of 1976 an example was set for many other states to pass similar laws. Year 1976 ( MCMLXXVI) was a Leap year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.
Farm wineries are usually at a much smaller scale than commercial ones. Farm wineries may produce distinctive and very high quality wines. There are highly competitive contests by which wineries can establish prestige by winning in their categories. Farm wineries are a form of value added marketing, also known as agritourism, for farmers who may otherwise be struggling to show a profit.
Winery wastewater
Winery wastewater is primarily generated during the cleaning of winemaking equipment and facilities. The quantity and quality of wastewater shows seasonal variations. Wastewater handling involves collection, possible treatment, then disposal and/or reuse.
Peak wastewater generation occurs during the "crush", in other words, when grapes are actively being processed into juice for fermentation. This process requires large amounts of clean water for washing newly harvested grapes, and results in a high wastewater output. To a lesser degree, wastewater is produced if boilers or water conditioning equipment is used.
