Best wine press for taking water from vegetables?
My Chinese friend is looking for an inexpensive but efficient wine press. He would use it to crush vegetables to take the water out of them for use in making egg rolls. Has anybody ever tried this? Do you have any recommendations for what brand wine press to use, ball-park cost of the press, or alternatives you have used to accomplish this task with other appliances?
Also, if there is a better place to post this question (I thought of food and drink/wine/beer sections but since the use for the press is not wine related, thought somebody in ethnic cuisine might have better input.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you!

Thanks Desi Chef. Since you are top answerer I have to take this info into careful consideration. But since it's not me, but my friend, asking the question, and since I'm not a cook, I can only imagine he had something creative in mind. But I will continue to see what comes back and, could be my friend's idea isn't such a good one. I'll stay tuned, and thanks again.

I have never heard of using a wine press to do this. Most people usually wash, trim, prep the vegetables, pat dry/ air dry or use a weight (can of soup or heavy pot). Why would you want to "crush" the veggies anyway? Just cut them finely or in julienne strips.
This is practical, cheap, more efficient, no mess, no clean up, easy ....
If excess liquid has accumulated after stir frying, just drain it out.
