Francesco Lia moved to the US from Italy sometime after 1902. He bought this wine press for home wine production and the family used it until 1964. Lia (he later changed his last name to Lee) emigrated from the Catanzaro region of Italy and worked in the Pennsylvania coal mines before settling in New Jersey. ?

How'd it work? After the crushed grapes and juice were emptied into the press, the winemaker placed wooden blocks on top of them to help compress the grapes as the screw was turned with a long wooden handle. As the mass of crushed grapes was pressed, juice ran out of the bottom and into another barrel.

Gift of John Lee.
