Easton's Bible Dictionary

Winefat:

(Mar 12:1). The original word (hypolenion) so rendered occurs only here in the New Testament. It properly denotes the trough or lake (lacus), as it was called by the Romans, into which the juice of the grapes ran from the trough above it. It is here used, however, of the whole apparatus. In the parallel passage in Mat 21:33 the Greek word lenos is used. This properly denotes the upper one of the two vats. (See WINE-PRESS.)

King James Dictionary

Winefat: A Collection Trough beneath a Winepress.

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the WINEFAT, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. (Mark 12:1)

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; Joe 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; Joe 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).
