Tourists juiced about grape stomping
A barrel of Zinfandel grapes wait to be stomped. A stomper stumper: Can your stomped juice be turned into wine? No, due to all sorts of regulations governing commercial wineries. Technically, the alcohol produced during fermentation should take care of any germs, but there is a slight possibility of contamination. Still, the skin and seeds usually get recycled as compost.
