Sour grapes?

Went through one huge bunch of red seedless grapes.

I wonder how long it takes to get from the groves to my produce market, and
as long as they sit there, then get to my house... how long will they last
before going sour?!?

I'm not timid in any sense, just asking.

?

And I have had sour grapes off a wine vine. VERY bitter.

Nevermind. I broke them off the stems and spread them on the "magically
disappearing ground pepper," on the front yard boulder. Don't actually know
WHO I'm feeding but I'm obviously doing them a favor. I hear a lot of "CHIP
CHIP" from my northern cardinals (nothing out of the ordinary) but don't
have the wireless TV cams on. Interferes with the wi-fi connections.

Gonna be a lot of drunk birds outside tonight!!!

Glad I can't fly... sometimes!!!

I wonder that too. Especially the ones that come from Chile. I swear
they smell a little musty sometimes.

We always wash them well, but never need to wonder how long they are good as
we eat them up.

Cybercat,

As long as you keep feeding me grapes, I'll never get out of this La-Z-Boy
recliner.

My Hell before Hell???

Best,

Andy

If I buy grapes, I will always taste one first. The most usual problem
is that the grapes are not bitter but unripe and not very sweet even if
they are from Chile.

IME grapes don't get sour, they shrivel and get moldy.
Grapes that are sour haven't ripened
enough to develop the characteristic sugars, or they are
varieties that aren't grown for table use..

And sour does not equal bitter. They are completely
different flavors, albeit both unpleasant.
Lemon juice is sour. Lemon pith (the white part of the
rind) is bitter.
