Custome crush facility

A term coined in the USA for wineries in the New World that offer various services for winegrowers or wineries without their own winery equipment. Derived from the name (crush = to squeeze or press), this is usually the processing of grapes into must or young wine, which is then delivered to the client for completion (maturation, bottling). However, complete processing is also offered. The wines are vinified separately and delivered to the producer, who then markets them under his own name. This is particularly common in California, New York State (Long Island) and New Zealand (Marlborough). Production companies without their own winery are called virtual w ineries in German.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
