I got tired of getting purple hands and more importantly I got concerned that I wasn't squeezing enough of the goodness out of wine skin packs and raisins that I had been fermenting. I came upon this outfit while looking about on the internet. It is actually an herb press. I had to drill the holes in the bowl a bit bigger (still not big enough) but it works pretty well.
It works by pressing one bowl down onto the grape pack which is in another bowl. The pressings run out from holes in the bottom into a third bowl set underneath.
Here is the grape pack after extraction. It was like a hard wafer.
It is not a perfect system, but my hands weren't purple and I felt that I got all the goodies out of the pack.
