    Oh damn, i got confused here because in french “grappe” is the word for “grape cluster” so at first i was thinking it needed hundred of clusters for one bottle, and wine seemed very very wasteful to me for one moment

    Not surprising, I’d guess a wine bottle can hold about 200 whole grapes of the varieties that are grown for wine which iirc are smaller sized grapes.

          I disagree. I’ve got a Sauvignon Blanc vine that makes the tastiest grapes I’ve ever had. Sure, they are small and full of seeds, but they are way above table grapes for flavour

            Huh interesting, that’s different from what I’ve tasted and read in articles, but it’s entirely possible that your particular variety is superior

              I was very surprised when eating it. Like you, I’ve read articles about wine grapes and I was expecting it to be bad.

              I’ve taken cuttings off this vine, so maybe at some point I can get enough to make wine. Maybe the wine will be incredibly poor flavour.

    I can only assume that smashing testicles led you thinking of stomping grapes.
