Grape Stomping

[dougiezerts]

Do people still stomp barefooted on grapes, to get the juice out? Or is that done mainly just for demonstration/show purposes?
And have any of you ever done it? I haven't but I bet it's fun!

Sorry Dougie - I come from a long line of wine makers - stomping is totally disgusting but gave everyone a good laugh on the I Love Lucy show - I'm glad our family doesn't believe in it!

Like mama- the only place I've actually "seen" this done is on 'I Love Lucy'...OH! And also in a sweet Keanu Reeves movie- 'A Walk in the Clouds'.
