Due to speaking with Doug, I now have convinced myself that I need to purchase a wine press. I am considering pressing grapes, berries (when I follow Doug to his elderberry stash) and apples. However, before purchasing, what other questions do I want to ask or need answers to? I just don't know what I don't know.
So I guess before I purchase, what are the features that are important to consider in a press and a crusher? I have been scanning Craigslist and Ebay, but do I want to purchase an older vintage press or a new press? Do I want a combination press/mulcher or are they better purchased and used separately? Can anyone elaborate on maintenance/upkeep of a press? Is there a brand I want to consider or any I want to avoid?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
