Ever wonder how they squish the freshly picked grapes in a large modern winery nowadays? Not a single stained foot is involved! This large stainless steel tank is fed the grapes and, with the help from a pneumatic bladder positioned on the inside of the cylinder that is cycled through different pressures, gently presses the grapes to release the juice from the center pulp and not the the juice from the area near the peel that would give a bitterness to the final product---that juice is probably saved for the "bag-in-box" vintages for us uncouth types :)
