Must (grape juice)

The grape juice, "Must" in both Hungarian and English, is really really tasty!  We should have bottled more of it, but didn't have enough plastic bottles. Anyway, one must drink it within a few days before it starts to ferment.

I saw it selling in a cafe on the Ráday utca this week for 200Ft (60 euro cents) per deciliter.



The juice in the above picture was taken directly from the bath when the grapes were crushed by the mill, so it is quite cloudy.

The picture below shows the same jug, later on, after the remaining juice had settled. You can see how much sediment it contains.



The juice that came from the pressed grapes is a bit clearer, but still contains a lot of sediment which will be 'racked off' from the barrels in due course.
