How Much Water Does Wine Production Require
- 1. How much water does it take to make wine?
- 3. Wine is Awesome But how much water does a winery use?
- 4. IME also estimates that 30-50% (1.2 billion tons of all food produced is lost before reaching a human stomach, and water required to meet food demand in 2050 could about triple the current amount used annually by humans Common beverages Amount of Water Milk 255 liters per 250 ml glass Wine 109 liters per 250 ml glass Beer 74 liters per 250 ml glass Tea 27 liters per 250 ml cup Water needed to produce common beverages (Institute of Mechanical Engineers)
- 5. California makes 90% of all U.S. wine • 4,100 bonded wineries (nearly all family owned) • 214.6 million cases produced • 5,900 wine grape growers • /• 570,000 acres of wine grapes • 4.24 million tons of wine grapes harvested Source: Wine Institute, http://www.winei
- 6. It takes (on average) 6 gallons of water to produced one gallon of wine
- 7. What is the sustainable/ideal amount of water to turn water into wine? 2-3 gallons of water per gallon of wine From M. Dunne, Sacramento Bee
- 8. • Most water use in wineries is associated with washing equipment such as crushers and destemmers, presses, harvest bins, fermentation tanks, hoses, pumps, etc • Water is also used to clean floors, pads, other areas for dust control
- 9. Cleaning accounts for much of the water used at wineries.
- 10. It’s up to California • Wineries need to conserve water • Wineries need to reduced water usage
- 11. Common Conservation methods • High Pressure washing • Reduction in water use with pressurized vs non-pressurized water for cleaning harvest and fermentation bins, and de- stemers-crushers • 75% through use of timers, automatic shut off and related aids further reduces over use of water for cleaning equipment • Use of cleaning and sanitizing chemicals o Cleaning aids detergents (percarbonates, others) o Disinfection aids (bisulfite, metabisulfites, percarbonates, chlorine
- 12. Common Conservation methods (cont.) • Dry ice pellets • Collecting rinse waters and treating for recycling, or irrigation • Use of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis to upgrade wastewater • Use of water meters throughout winery and soil moisture meters in vineyard to pinpoint excessive use areas • Educate and/or incentivize workers to conserve water
- 13. Who is studying the best water conservation and sustainability for California Wineries?
- 14. Jackson Sustainable Winery Facility Robert Mondavi Institute, UC Davis Focusing on • Ways to Save Water • Use of rainwater • Tank cleaning • Barrel Cleaning • Green chemistry • Recycling and recovery—nanofiltration and/or reverse osmosis
- 15. • Self-sustainable, zero carbon • Carbon dioxide captured from all fermentations in the winery will be converted to calcium carbonate (chalk), and will be given to a plasterboard company • Real time monitoring of emissions • Temp maintained at 50° - 80 ° without heating or AC units Some techniques from Robert Mondavi Institute, UC Davis
- 16. • 90% of water and chemicals from each winery cleaning cycle will be captured and processed for future use • Chilled water produced by using an icemaker powered by electricity from solar panels More techniques from Robert Mondavi Institute, UC Davis
