Drainage Systems
The wine making process has several steps, all which require some form of trench drain system. These stages include grape pressing, fermentation, barreling and then bottling.
In patio and serving areas, there are a wide variety of grate options in order to enhance an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Most wineries don’t use a large amount of water to clean the equipment and floors in comparison to breweries. Standard trench drain practices for fork truck and pallet jack use include a frame and some sort of cast iron grate. If not required, many options are available for pedestrian or even automobile traffic load.

Considerations
Grapes of Wrath
Wine has a tendency to be a bit acidic which can eat away at some materials. Ensure that your grates and trench drain system are able to handle harsh chemicals.
Roll Out the Barrels
Consider what will be going across the drain so that you can select appropriate grates. Make sure they are durable enough to accommodate forklifts and pallet jacks moving heavy barrels and other loads.
Location, Location, Location
Consider where trench drains will be located in order to gain easy access for cleaning. It’s also important to have trench drain systems in storage areas for risk management of potential spills.
