From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Wine-press
      Consisted of two vats or receptacles, (1) a trough (Heb. gath,
      Gr. lenos) into which the grapes were thrown and where they were
      trodden upon and bruised (Isa. 16:10; Lam. 1:15; Joel 3:13); and
      (2) a trough or vat (Heb. yekebh, Gr. hypolenion) into which the
      juice ran from the trough above, the gath (Neh. 13:15; Job
      24:11; Isa. 63:2, 3; Hag. 2:16; Joel 2:24). Wine-presses are
      found in almost every part of Palestine. They are "the only sure
      relics we have of the old days of Israel before the Captivity.
      Between Hebron and Beersheba they are found on all the hill
      slopes; they abound in southern Judea; they are no less common
      in the many valleys of Carmel; and they are numerous in
      Galilee." The "treading of the wine-press" is emblematic of
      divine judgment (Isa. 63:2; Lam. 1:15; Rev. 14:19, 20).
