We currently use a Mehu-Maja steam juicer (as someone previously mentioned) 
but for years used the method that Tim mentioned, which we first heard about 
in one of Helen and Scott Nearing's books.  We like the convenience of making 
a juice concentrate with the steam juicer.  I do occassionally press some in 
the cider press after crushing them, but it is more time consuming.

I remember that someone who had way too many grapes said the easiest way to 
do it was to fill a jar with grapes, add water and maybe sugar, put on the 
lid and process.  I'll bet a blender and a strainer would do a better job.

Actually, we've done the 'grapes in a jar' for years.  We put in one cup of 
grapes, 1/2 cup of sugar into a sterilized hot jar, and fill with boiling 
water.  Seal immediately.  Store for a month or six weeks, and pour off the 
liquid to drink.  Don't process the grapes.  They stay whole, and release 
their juices over the waiting time.  Easy to do, and good
