Cheap wine press

Post by Texas Jim »

Not sure where to put this, but here's a pretty good deal on a decent sized press -

I have that exact one and while it is economical I'll add that I would rather spend a little more and get the kind where the basket is hinged and you can open it up to remove the pomace cake. This one is a little cumbersome for multiple presses as the basket must either be lifted or the pomace scooped out...

Cheers!

For the price of the wine press, why not make an apple press.. I made one for less than 50 dollars, and works well.. just parts I had around the place, the steel rod to make the bolts cost more than everything else..

Here the unit at work, and for me, it beats the mop bucket, but each to their own..

Thanks for posting that, it's a great deal. I always thought a wine press would work great for corn and grains. For me 5 gallons is a little small though.
