    Been getting some great grapes from Walmart.

    Green
    Red
    and
    Jubilee

    I even tried for the 1st time Moon Drop grapes


    What is your favorite grape and are there any I need to search out?


    I figure with all the other terrible threads started in the last 2 days, this one would not be bad.

    Are grapes a healthy snack?

    Grapes are delicious little sugar bombs. Just don't feed any to doggos.

    Why would you try to steal the thunder from a perfectly good fruit thread bump

    Grapes are too random in taste. I always buy red, but they're never consistent. A lot of produce right now seems to be crappy from what I've seen, but Walmart is always hit or miss on produce for me.

    I do love me some grapes as a late night snack. I think as far as common fruit goes, they're among the less nutritious.

    I'll dabble in red, green and black/purple.

    Weird grapes to try - moon grapes (which I don't hate) and cotton candy grapes (which are fun once).

    Grapes are on the lower end of the fruit totem pole. There's nothing like eating a large girthy banana.

    Here in the Hill Country, the wild Mustang grapes are delicious for eating (granny used to make some ridiculously strong country wine, I still have the barrel)

    Cab Sav
    Temperanillo
    Tannat
    Muscadines

    From my experience are all good to very good. Never had a great one, I'll save that for the beer and liquor.

    That's my go-to when I sample/buy local wine.

    Still not sure why I don't have a home in Uruguay or Argentina.

    same.

    it's interesting to me that the wine growing regions of Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand are, more or less, the same latitude.
