MATERIALS
- A large tub or half-barrel
- Fresh grapes
- A collection basin below the tub
HOW TO PLAY
1
Fill the tub with a generous layer of fresh grapes.
2
Contestants roll up their pant legs, wash their feet, and step barefoot into the tub.
3
Stomp the grapes rhythmically, crushing them underfoot so the juice runs out through a drain into the collection basin.
4
In a race format, contestants stomp for a fixed time and the collected juice is measured afterward.
5
Rotate stompers into fresh tubs of grapes so everyone gets a turn.
6
Compare juice yields, or simply enjoy the tradition without keeping score.
