I'm currently reading a document on the basics of making wine and I've gotten to the part about punching down the grape skins several times a day for various reasons. I come from the homebrew world where I've dry hopped and would basically add hops to a mesh bag and add weights (marbles) to the bad so it would stay submerged. Can the same thing be done for grape skins or is there another reason to punch down the skins?
