Mtg. 3.19.10

My father and I met to discuss layout and square footages.
First we had to determine how many tons of grapes would be coming into the winery.
Vineyard size (including future growth): 5 acres
4 tons/acre on avg.
20 tons of grapes
1200 cases total = 144,000 bottles

A wooden wine case is about 7"x13"x20"

In the fermentation area, there will be 1 1,000 gallon tank (d=6', h=8') and 4 500 gallon tanks
(d=4', h=6')

Barrels: 2500 gallons of wine
in 60 gallon barrels = 48 barrels
12 racks, 3 high, 2 aisles
Bordeaux barrels--height=3', mid circumference 2.25'
