    Grapes seeds are usually very small and can't harm you. If you really do want to remove all the seeds, though, you can take a thin piece of cloth that water could easily flow through and place it over a bowl. pour the grape juice slowly over the cloth and the seeds should rest on top of the cloth while the juice flows through to the bowl.

    It's possible, but check for the big ones. When draining the juice from the grapes, the seeds won't go through.

    You can, but you will regret it as the acid from the grapes will start to burn or irritate your feet.
