Wine grapes are like those fancy cousins, way cooler than your regular grocery store grapes. Did you know it takes about 600 to 800 wine grapes to make a single bottle? That's grape-tastic! If you drop food on the floor for less than five seconds, it's still good, right? Wine grapes are smaller than you think, like blueberries with a sweeter attitude! When making wine, remember that the pulp is soft and juicy, just like a great summer day. Bowling leagues and popcorn machines? Just another day in the life of Sour Grapes!
