I would presume recently pressed. It hasn’t yet fermented, so will expand and if contained in an older wine skin that is already stretched out, it will tear.It's surprisingly difficult to find information on this. When Scriptures use the term "new wine", what is this talking about? Is it "young wine", that's just been recently pressed? Or is it wine of exceptional quality?

Thinking more on this.... yes new wine is sweet. It was also seasonal and according to the Jewish laws, was forbidden to be drunk until after the wine festival, which was 50 days after Pentecost or Shortly before Tabernacles.It may possibly refer to sweet wines.
I would qualify this: If grapes are recently pressed under natural circumstances, the natural yeast in the liquid will start to ferment the sugars very rapidly -- as I said, with my mead, it's within a day or two. The liquid can't be bottled too early in this process, because air is required. The yeasts need to breath and gases need to escape.I would presume recently pressed.
