Wine Pressing 2020 - The wooden basket press being prepped to press the Rhone wine must. We are using a #50 wooden basket press which holds 34 gallons of material and weighs 300 lbs empty. Normally 30% to 35% of the 110+ gallons wine must are solids. 2020 was a very dry year and more of our 900 lbs of grapes is material versus juice than normal. In general our 2,700 lbs of grapes gives about 210 gallons at pressing, down to 190 or so at first racking, and then ultimately 180 gallons at bottling. This will ultimately yield around 900 bottles, so at a minimum, you need to assume 15-18 lbs of grapes per gallon of wine.
