    New Old Wine Press

    definitely! i did some research on the Baccellieri name in the Philly region and it looks like there was 3 brothers, and maybe one broke away and started making presses on his own for one reason or another there's just not a whole lot of info out there on the net--and i haven't seen any with a...

    New Old Wine Press

    correct, it's a 35 basket even though the leg has "25" on it i've seen "25" bases before, and they were smaller then what I have on this Baccellieri press

    New Old Wine Press

    well, it appears the press is bigger then a 25 because the basket is 14 1/2 inside width by 18 inches high

    New Old Wine Press

    Okay, we make wine from high quality juice--my buddy use to make wine from grapes but stopped when his daughter complained about the smell--well--I got my hands on a old Baccelieri Brothers #25 wine press. The previous owner found it in someones yard in pieces and restored it with the intention...

    Hello from PA

    My buddy has a press--he made wine from grapes for most of his life--he only swapped to the juice because his daughter was complaining of the smell when they temporarily moved back home. I believe this year we're going to do a batch of wine from the grapes, just don't know where we're getting...

    Hello from PA

    I like how the grape sales go to support a senior living facility--I'll check with my buddy--he's a little stuck in his ways so it might be a hard sell for the drive. It might have to be a road trip.

    Corking screw-top bottles

    Always used them and will still cork the screw top bottles if and or when I have them--I'll just make sure to use the proper opener as previously stated by cmason to prevent any problems. We've been using them for years and never had a problem--imho--a bigger problem is corking a bottle that...

    Corking screw-top bottles

    I can see that being an issue and I'll make sure to use the rabbit ears on those bottles--luckily that's all my wife uses--I do prefer the waiters corkscrew though. Two years ago we had two bottles explode in a row during the corking process. Still don't know why, it was near the end and we were...

    Hello from PA

    Thank you jg! We're going to do a batch of grapes this season but we use good quality juices from California. We go through a couple of local store operators in the area, Lopes Market (Portuguese seafood/deli) and Zingales a local fruit market. I live in the Lehigh Valley, outside of...

    Hello from PA

    Joined a while back but just thought I'd say hello from Pensy! I make wine with a couple of friends, nothing fancy but we do make a good amount--anywhere from 500 to 800 plus bottles a year. Just depends if we're making it for anyone else other then ourselves.

    Corking screw-top bottles

    We cork screw-top wine bottles all the time, never had an issue--use number 9 cork. I'm not 100% sure but it seems the Italian FC squeezes the cork more then the Portuguese FC so I let the wine bottles sit up for a few days to let the cork settle/expand before laying them on their side.
