winepress
    n 1: a press that is used to extract the juice from grapes

2. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Wine-press
   Consisted of two vats or receptacles, (1) a trough (Heb. gath,
   Gr. lenos) into which the grapes were thrown and where they were
   trodden upon and bruised (Isa. 16:10; Lam. 1:15; Joel 3:13); and
   (2) a trough or vat (Heb. yekebh, Gr. hypolenion) into which the
   juice ran from the trough above, the gath (Neh. 13:15; Job
   24:11; Isa. 63:2, 3; Hag. 2:16; Joel 2:24). Wine-presses are
   found in almost every part of Palestine. They are "the only sure
   relics we have of the old days of Israel before the Captivity.
   Between Hebron and Beersheba they are found on all the hill
   slopes; they abound in southern Judea; they are no less common
   in the many valleys of Carmel; and they are numerous in
   Galilee." The "treading of the wine-press" is emblematic of
   divine judgment (Isa. 63:2; Lam. 1:15; Rev. 14:19, 20).
