RUTHERFORD, Calif. — Lucy did it. And you can, too — stomp grapes, that is. Wineries from Napa to New York are rolling out the barrel for those inclined to squish a little merlot between their toes.
"You get one person doing it and then everyone else is wanting to go along," says Ken Morris of the Grgich Hills Estate winery in the Napa Valley, where visitors can stomp daily during harvest.
No. Sorry. I mean, come on, the wine press was invented in the Middle Ages, so that people wouldn't have to drink stuff that someone's feet have been soaking in. How bored we have become.
I don't drink wine but I don't see the problem. Wine has been made this way for centuries and still is in many places. By the time the fermenting and chemical process to make grape juice into wine has happened your wine will be just about as hygienic as you can get. The alcohol will have removed all traces of any "unsavoury" by-products of feet pressing.
It never ceases to amaze me how squeamish some people can be . It is hardly as though you will be drinking feet sweat-juice in a glass....
