winepresses
Vintage extraction machines
Winepresses are devices or installations for crushing grapes to extract juice for winemaking.
Traditional winepresses were large vats where grapes were trodden by foot; later versions used mechanical pressure.
The word appears frequently in biblical and classical contexts, where the winepress symbolizes harvest, abundance, or divine judgment: treading the winepress of God's wrath.
