Has anyone out there tried Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer and if so, does it really work as good as it says, Good!


Question: I think it would would be good to make wine from grapes


Answers: I think it would would be good to make wine from grapes

I have one and have been using it for 3 years, the thing about juicing grapes for wine is you will not get the right amount of juice, these a centrifical spin juicers, for wine you want to crush the grapes and allow the skins, tannins and flavours to meld in the first fermentation.

If you juice grapes you will get a clearish juice and not the properties for the juice to ferment into wine, trust me I am a former chef and have use more powerful one, there are hand crank one used to crush tomatos into puree, they are better, you find them in hardware stores or Italian specialty stores.

it rocks

Couple things- first the answer to practically every single question which states: Is "as seen on TV product/ TV chef sponsored product" really work well..." No. If the answer were yes, actual chefs would use these products (they don't) and consumer publications would rate them highly (they don't). If it needs a celeb endorsement, it's probably inferior to the real thing. There are exceptions, but they tend to be very expensive, and still not best in class (Ken Onion knives, etc).

Second, a Juicer is not what you make wine from. You need a crusher-stemmer, a completely different device, and varieties of grapes which aren't available at your grocery store. The vast majority of home winemakers start from a high quality varietal juice purchased at winemaking shops, not home crushing.
