This is what's left after pressing: a 60 lb cake of skins called pomace. In Italy, they ferment and distill this stuff to make the drink known as Grappa.
Sort of like how rubbing alcohol smells.
Sounds like a party Ads
Thanks. I've thought about doing that. Currently I teach a few classes, and am also the president of the local home winemaking club here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (over 100 members now). We're often asked to give presentations and seminars.You should write a step by step book with lots of photos.
It's vile stuff. When I traveled in Italy a few years back, digestifs like grappa and lemoncello were something that was offered after every meal. Lemoncello I like. Grappa not so much.Grappa I have tasted with my Italian relatives & afraid its not to my liking at all! A very lethal drink It used to burn my mouth so to speak. Definitely an acquired taste I think.

I don't drink alcohol at all. Have never had one in my life. Someone else can have my share.
Because someone has never had a drink or rarely drinks, is only a matter of choice, not a matter of how "good" one is. There are many very good people who choose to responsibly enjoy libations of one form or another on a more regular basis.
