A place where wine is made from grapes, including the buildings, equipment, and vineyards involved in the process.
From 'wine' (Old English 'win' from Latin 'vinum') plus the suffix '-ery' (meaning 'place where something is made'). The term became common in English in the 19th century as wine production became a documented industry rather than just a household activity.
Wineries are time-travel machines in bottles—the grapes you drink today were fermented by yeast that can take anywhere from months to decades, and ancient Roman wineries used the exact same clay-pot fermentation method we still use today, proving wine science hasn't fundamentally changed in 2,000 years.
