Dump the grapes into any big, clean container. Wash your feet thoroughly with soap and water, rinse well and step on the grape bunches. You can’t hurt them, so press down hard until the bunches are smashed and the juice is released. This will also remove some of the red berries from the stems, which is good.

Start with the best-quality grapes you can afford. You’ll need 60 to 75 pounds of grapes. A winemaking store will have sources, as will search engines, but it may be possible to buy your preferred grape variety from a vineyard near you at $1 or $2 per pound.
