Does anyone still make wine by crushing the grapes with bare feet?
Yes. Crushing grapes by foot is a labour-intensive (e.g., expensive) method of making wine and is used infrequently today. However, it is used to some extent in the Douro region of Portugal in the production of quality Port wines. In addition, many smaller, quality vintners in France, Italy, and other countries still crush red grapes by foot. Using this process to crush grapes is believed to produce
a better quality product than can be obtained by mechanical crushing.
You never know what are you drinking! Disgusting !
