    While i will admit that i am not english native speaker but i never heard "Pressing wine" is a idiomatic expression. If it is then what is the metaphor for "pressing wine"?

    I said it was bit idiomatic, meaning similar to an idiom. An idiom is not a metaphor.

      It's seems that I can't tell you what is my point. Let's forget the translation and what is have meaning in English or not. Maybe someone with Arabic knowledge can help here and tell me it is okay to use verb for a liquid.
      Peace

        Yes, it is liquids what it is about, to press liquid out of something.

          Hi all. Peace. You may squeeze solid, not liquid. By squeezing solid you may extract/expel liquid from it. Example By squeezing/pressing mastard seeds in expeller (machine) mastard oil is expelled/extracted.
