Our love of grapes spans across almost all of human history. Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, and many other early civilizations all showed their reverence for the vine, depicting grapes in art, ritual, and song as symbols of leisure, luxury, fertility, and harbingers of good luck. In more recent traditions, Spanish legend has it that eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year’s Eve brings good luck for the year ahead, one grape for every month. We say, why wait until New Year’s? And why not have a few extra, too?
