Introducing The Homesteader Wine Press
The Homesteader Wine Press is the exact same design as the complete Homesteader press but without the grinder. The grinder is available for purchase separately if desired at a later date. Our frame has the greatest precision ever! Each joint has been re-designed for a tighter fit and, as always, are notched and cross-bolted.
Parts made for the Pressure of Pressing
The acme screw presses against our updated pressing disk. This disk, unlike the frame (which is made of laminate hardwood), is made of hard maple and has a 2" reinforced handle with inset for easy handling. The tub has beveled staves for easy cleaning.
We recommend that a small amount of lubricant is applied to the screw as well as the inside the pressure foot. For your convenience you can add this to your order by choosing to add the Essentials Kit ($89) to your order.

Accessories
The Essentials Kit - $89
The Essentials Kit has everything you need to get up and going with your press
- Lubrication for your screw and inside pressure foot
- EZ-DO Polyurethane Gel to protect your wood
- Fruit Pressing Bags. Our fruit pressing bags will last for 6+ years. They are made of a custom made nylon that is far thicker than any out there. They are superior to cheesecloth bags because it has wider openings to allow the maximum flow of juice while holding back the fruit bits.
The Retractable Wheels - $99.95
Simple to install and mighty handy! Move your press easily-- even down steps or over rough ground. Install by tipping the press forward and dropping the 8" wheels in place. Push press upright again and the wheel lock into place. (A set of handles included on Homesteader/American Harvester set).
This video was before we added the option for retractable wheels so what you're watching is a DIY version of the retractable wheels accessory that you can purchase. I think this video is a great visual of how important and useful it is to have professionals to install this game-changing accessory
