FR Un pressoir vinicole est un appareil de pressurage utilisé durant le processus de la vinification pour l'extraction du jus des raisins.
Les raisins sont écrasés par une vis, placée verticalement au centre d'un bâti-cage généralement cylindrique, s'appuyant sur une série de longerons croisés et empilés en pyramide pour répartir la pression. Au xxe siècle, une assistance mécanique aide à visser l'écrou puis une aide hydraulique (double-vérins) est installée (on fait tourner au maximum l'écrou pour descendre les longerons puis l'on pompe pour que les vérins écrasent la vendange et l'on renouvelle l'opération autant de fois qu'il faut).
EN A wine press is a pressing machine used during the winemaking process for the extraction of grape juice.
The grapes are crushed by a screw, placed vertically in the center of a generally cylindrical cage-cage, resting on a series of cross members and stacked pyramid to distribute the pressure. In the twentieth century, a mechanical assistance helps to screw the nut and a hydraulic aid (double-cylinders) is installed (we turn the nut to the maximum to lower the side members and then we pump so that the cylinders crush the harvest and we repeat the operation as many times as necessary).
