The grape juice was allowed to stand and ferment in the collecting vessels for about six weeks. A sludge known as lees formed at the bottom of the vessels. The wine was then tipped up gently into jars without disturbing the sediment (Jer 48:11).

When the process was complete, the hole was sealed with a blob of wet clay and the owner’s name or seal was put on the clay.
