Ancient Wine Press

From the scanty notices contained
in the Bible. it appears that the wine
presses of the ancient Hebrews con-
sisted of two receptacles at different
elevations. in the upper of which the
grapes were trodden, while the lower
one received the expressed Juice. The
two watts are mentioned together only
In Joel 3.13-"The press is full. the
watts overfiow"-the upper vat being
full of grapes, the lower one overflow
ing with the juice that had been
pressed out and had come down from
the upper vat. The two vats were
usually hewn out OF the solid rock.
Ancient wine presses so constructed
are still TO be seen in Palestine.
