From Vineyard to Value: Turning Winery Wastewater into a Resource

STS to Exhibit at the 13th Annual WINExpo on December 4, 2025

Every drop tells a story in winemaking—from the vineyard’s irrigation lines to the final pour in your glass. But behind the beauty of wine lies a hidden challenge: What happens to the water left behind?

Wineries produce large amounts of wastewater—up to 10 gallons for every gallon of wine bottled. Managing winery wastewater treatment processes responsibly isn’t just about meeting regulations; it’s about protecting the very ecosystems that make great wine possible.

At Specialty Treatment Solutions (STS), we help wineries transform this challenge into an opportunity—turning wastewater into a resource that strengthens both operations and sustainability efforts.

Reimagining Winery Wastewater Treatment Systems and Processes

Winery wastewater is rich in organic content—residual sugars, yeast, and cleaning compounds that, if untreated, can impact the environment. But with the right treatment system, that same water can be recycled, reused, and reintegrated into the winery’s sustainability plan.

STS designs custom winery wastewater treatment solutions that:

  • Reduce environmental impact by improving water reuse efficiency
  • Optimize operations with technology adaptable to seasonal flows
  • Maintain regulatory compliance across local, state, and federal guidelines
  • Scale easily to match growth, from boutique producers to commercial wineries

Our background in wine production, irrigation, and wastewater engineering allows us to design systems that work in harmony with winemaking operations.

Advanced Treatment Solutions for Winery Wastewater Management

Effective winery wastewater treatment requires understanding the unique challenges of wine production. Our specialized systems address:

  • Seasonal flow variations in wastewater production
  • High organic load processing
  • Water recycling and reuse capabilities
  • Regulatory compliance for discharge standards
