grape crushing
Pressing wine berries
Grape crushing is the process of breaking grape skins to release juice for winemaking.
Traditionally done by foot-stomping in large vats, modern production typically uses mechanical crushers.
The term evokes romanticized images of harvest festivals and Old World tradition: We watched the grape crushing ceremony at the vineyard.
