The basket press is made of a painted steel frame with traditional wood slats. They are great for most small scale home winemakers.
The bladder press offers the winemaker more control over the pressing operation and achieve a more even pressing, all while being faster. A bladder press is also gentler on your fruit than a basket press.
Bladder presses are a perfect fit for winemakers who are working on a larger scale and/or are focused on producing the highest quality wine possible.
