I'll preface this by mentioning I'm a beer brewer, I've never done wine.
I just got offered a fencerow's worth of grapes by a guy at work if I come pick them. I'd like to do a batch of wine with them if there's enough (I took the offer up site unseen, but I'm told there should be at least 50+ lbs of grapes on the vines), but I'm not having much luck finding any information on how to process them without spending $400+++ on a press.
My question is, is there any way to make wine out of these grapes without access to a press, or should I just make grape juice and jam out of them?
TIA!!
