Wine Making Press
A Wine Making Press for the Wine Enthusiast
A wine making press is used to extract the juices from grapes, or whichever fruit is being used to fill the wine recipe. The extracted juice is then processed into a finished wine product. In some cases, the juice extracted by the wine press can also be made into a non-alcoholic, pure fruit drink.
For wine enthusiasts that produce their home wine products completely from scratch, a wine press is necessary to separate the desired fruit juice from the unneeded parts of the fruit (stems, skin, etc.). The skins and seeds are separated from the juice at the beginning with white wine and after some fermentation on the skins in the case of red wine. The resulting juice can then be used to continue through the wine making.
There are several types of wine making presses to help you through the process of home wine production. A bladder wine press has an inner tube, which when filled with air or water creates enough pressure to press out the fruit juice. There is also a wine table press and the traditional double ratchet basket press, which is a simple and very rugged wine press.
A wine making press can range in price from $200 to $550 each. Many wine presses can double a cider press or any fruit press. They are fun and even a child can do it.
