an ergo tip for the wine stained hands of a winemaker...always press your white grapes last if possible so the acid can clean the red off your hands from the red grapes

Al thanks for bringing this up on another thread. I also have hands that look black from doing red grapes. I have tried everything from B-Brite flowwed up with a meta/citric solution to just plain scrubbing. Julies Husband told me about "Bar Keepers Friend" that you can find next to cleanser in the grocery stores.
I sarted the day out with black hands and pressed another 12 tons of concord. I just came home tonight and gave this stuff a try. I have to admit my hands look 70% better where as nothing else touched it. I don't have the luxury of choosing which grapes get pressed when but If it is red and white the same day white will always be first. Can't take the risk of tinting the white wines with red even though we do clean in between.
