GRAPE STOMPING

Crushing grapes with feet is hardly a new trend. There is sample evidence that humans have stepped on grapes in vats, tubs and lagars to make wine for at least 8000 years. In 2017, scientists discovered earthenware jars with wine residue and decorated with images of grapes and a man dancing in Tbilisi, Georgia. But why are winemakers still stepping on grapes?

Advocates say the foot provides more control over the wine’s flavor profile. Imagine you place a grape between your fingers and crush it. Now picture doing it in a vice. Stomped grapes allow winemakers to customize tannin structure and reduce seed breakage, which can create harsh, off flavors.
