Making Homemade Wine & Cider

Traditional fruit pressing techniques have been used for hundreds of years to extract fruit juice for making wine and brewing cider. They’re a great way to learn to love that old fruit tree at the bottom of the garden and put you in control of the taste and recipe. Whether you’re looking to make juice or wine and cider, it’s guaranteed to taste better when freshly pressed or home made.

Most fruit will need to first be crushed in a shredder; the blades break the skin to help release as much juice as possible then a press will squish all the fruit and juice will pour out of the pressing basket. Our Fruit Crusher and Press are the perfect companions for anyone looking to start making their own cider, wine and juice.
