Or a hard plastic wading pool? Or a sawed-off wine barrel or plastic garbage can? Possibly, but you’ll need to scrub out the dirt from earlier uses, and unless you want to bruise your feet, you’ll do your legwork in a pair of knee-high rubber boots. Don’t forget that there’s another step involved in crushing by foot: removing the stems. Like grape seeds, grape stems—about 3 percent of the weight of just-picked grapes—are filled with bitter tannins. It’s okay to end up with a small portion of the original stems still in the crushed grapes: some amount of tannin is good in wines, at least in reds (more on this later).
A vintner at a high-end California winery was once asked what he considered the key to creating great wines. “Winemaking is dishwashing,” he said. “You wash your equipment, use it, wash it, use it, wash it. If you can’t stand getting wet, forget it. ” He exaggerates, perhaps, but water is winemaking’s phantom ingredient.
