I’ve been getting disappointed with quality of grapes at the supermarket the last few years. You can only get them in pre-packed bags, and they never seem really fresh. I really love a crisp crunchy grape! If you look at the colesworth ones, the stems are dry and limp indicating they have been off the vine for quite some time. I liked it better when you could just take a bunch or 2 from the pile, and there would be several varieties to choose from, not just nameless green or red. Maybe I’ll go to the market this weekend to see if I have better luck there.
If you have access to a good veggie shop or market I implore you to try some from there. The grape enjoyers in my house are enjoying what I'm bringing.
I shamelessly grab one of those presorted bags, dump it out and pick my own from other bags. Mostly because I generally don't want as many are in those bags but also I'm not paying for shit grapes!
