Pressed Wine grapes

Anyone use pressed wine grapes in their compost? I started making wine at a local wine place and on our last batch (a full barrel of Chianti) I took home 6 huge bins full of pressed grapes and added them into my compost. Gonna have some drunkin worms in there.

They only press grapes 2x per year, spring and fall and all their pressed grapes get thrown into the dumpster.

Come spring, I am planning on building a few more bins in order to accept the grapes. They make about 150 barrels a season so I will have way more then I can handle and cannot wait.

My brother is a wood worker so he is saving me all his sawdust so I will have plenty of browns to even out all the greens coming in the spring.

Anyone else use them?
