A fruit press, also known as a wine press or juice press, is a device used to extract juice, wine, or cider from fruits, grapes, or berries. It typically consists of:
1. A container or basket to hold the crushed fruit.
2. A pressing mechanism, such as a screw or hydraulic system, to apply pressure.
3. A collection vessel to gather the extracted juice.
The fruit press works by applying pressure to the crushed fruit, causing the juice to be released and collected. This traditional process is often used in winemaking, cider production, and juice extraction.
