Yes, wetland technology has already been applied for wineries effluents. Depending on the size of the winery (i.e., flow rates), the complexity of the system differs, from one stage bed to multiple stages. For example, you may need in a multiple system an equalization tank - vertical flow bed for raw wastewater (first stage) - Horizontal SSF beds (second stage) - FWS (third stage). But each case is studied separately in order to produce the optimum design.
