winepress

Vintner's extraction device

A winepress is a device or vat for crushing grapes to extract their juice for winemaking.

Traditionally, grapes were pressed by foot in large wooden or stone troughs; modern winepresses use mechanical or pneumatic pressure.

The word appears often in biblical contexts, where treading the winepress symbolizes divine judgment or wrath.
