What prevents the grapes from rotting?
Just a guess here, but it could be one part being in an air-tight sealed container, and one part being stored in a cool location. The porous nature of clay might also be an advantage somehow too.
The clay creates a microclimate that's low oxygen + high CO2 (grapes respire), plus the porous clay maintains ideal humidity without condensation that would cause mold, kinda like how root cellars work but in miniature.
