This book has been written for an eclectic audience of winery
developers (owners), winemakers with utility responsibilities (real
or implied), winery design professionals (architects and
engineers), and university-level enol ogy professors, all of whom
at sometime in their careers must address the subject of winery
site utilities as a distinct and important element of their jobs.
Wine and other fermented beverages in one form or another are pro
duced commercially in almost all temperate zones of the world.
Utility requirements for wineries, which use grapes as the
fermentable sugar source, are the focus of this reference book,
although similarities in fun damental production processes for
other subdivisions of the fermented beverage industry may find
useful reference information in the chapters which follow. Wine
production methods may differ somewhat from country to coun try,
but the sizing, need for reliability, ease of operation, and
cost-effec tiveness of water, wastewater, electrical, fire
protection, and other support systems remain nearly universally
constant. Of necessity, the author's past planning and design
experience with nearly 60 winery utility systems, will xi xii
Preface emphasize contemporary design fundamentals related to the
U.S. wine industry. However, where possible, opportunities will be
taken to relate American practice to, for example, European,
Australian, and South Amer ican wine industries where discrete
differences in utility systems have been observed by the author or
discovered in the literature research that was part of the
production effort for this volume."
Reprint of Winery Utilities: Planning, Design and Operation. This
is the first reference to integrate the basic planning, design and
operational function of the many support systems that make a winery
operate successfully. The author, an expert on wineries, gathers
the essential elements of the major energy, water, wastewater,
communication, solid waste, fuel, and fire protection groups and
each other of their important subcategories, into one solid source.
Comprehensive, easy-to-use chapters in this book provide winery
principles with: The necessary tools on how to avoid regulatory
agency problems when obtaining use permits and meeting building
code requirements at the planning stage. Useful guidelines for
designing utilities for eventual expansion to meet anticipated
production measures or for checking options for system upgrading or
improvement. Helpful comparisons of utility systems or subsystems
that work against those that do not and why. Contemporary
environmental constraints and methods for minimizing environmental
disruption in the design of utilities.
