grapes
Wine fruit source
Grapes are small, round fruits that grow in clusters on woody vines.
They come in green, red, purple, and black varieties, eaten fresh or dried into raisins.
Grapes are the source of wine—the fermented juice of the fruit.
Sour grapes describes dismissing something you can't have, from the Aesop fable about a fox who couldn't reach the grapes.
