Arak/Wine Making Press (Karkeh)

Do you remember all the times your grandfather or an uncle made arak in the village and everyone came over to sample the 'spirto'? Long evenings ensured of telling stories and getting progressively 'happier'. Maybe you only heard about the stories and wish to recreate that atmosphere wherever you happen to live outside Lebanon.

Well, you need an Alembic Pot (Karkheh) to make arak, and now you've found one with this 4.75-gallon (21.5L) solid red beechwood fruit/wine press.

The base plate features a lip for easily collecting the juice and a wide stance for extra stability. The 'twist and extend' mechanism where the supplied blocks of wood are out in place as the handle is twisted exerts pressure on the fruits, giving the maximum yield. 

EJWOX is a relatively new company that was started in Santa Ana, California six years ago.
