Wine production varied, of course, depending on the quality of the product intended. For any wines, grapes were gathered and trodden with feet, but generally pressed sent to a press for further refinement. The Torculum or the Roman press could sometimes be a sophisticated piece of machine driven parts, but was most commonly a heavy wooden beam.

Machinery used in bodegas is very simple and dates from antiquity. Means, systems and concepts based on the principles used for wines and oils by the Greeks and Romans are still used today in the Rioja. The most complicated piece of machinery, perhaps, is the press. This has great similarity to the Roman "torculum". The expression "torco" is commonly used in the Rioja to describe the container into which must, or wine leaving the press, is poured.
