Basket press size

Jul 27, 2003 2 Replies

After years of making wines from fruit and grape juice,I'm moving on. This year will be my first attempt at making wine from the grape. I'v found a source for grapes, have purchased a crusher/destemmer, but I'd appreciate recommendations as to what size press would be best for making at least a barrel a year. Thanks, Brent


Whatever the smallest size bladder type basket press you can buy should do the trick very nicely. Might be a 50 cm. If you're only doing ½ ton of grapes, a little smaller than that would be OK, but I don't know if they make bladder presses smaller than 50cm.

Dear Brent

Just out of interest, where did you purchase your crusher/destemmer and at what price.?

Thanks.
