wine presses

Vineyard crushing equipment

Wine presses are devices for crushing grapes to extract juice for winemaking.

Traditional presses used a screw mechanism to apply pressure; modern versions range from small hand-cranked units to large industrial machines.

The term appears frequently in biblical and historical contexts describing harvest and production: Workers tended the wine presses through autumn.
