Yes! Bringing back the grape thread! Sounds like Dr. Blood Music has grapes on the brain.
Fun fact about grapes, which I still do not like very much, grapes were invented by Protestant missionaries in the late 1800's during their many pilgrimages to southwest China. Soon the Protestants began to harness the power of grapes and sold them year round all over the globe by 1915. Wine was first invented in 1919 but was unfortunately created shortly before prohibition in the United States which lead Europe to becoming one of the biggest importers of fine wines while the States lived through 13 years of sobriety. This is why wine has such a huge presence in Europe. Interestingly enough Europe was originally spelled Yourup until 1923 when the King of Europe misspelled it so many times that everyone just said 'Fuck it! We are Europe now.'
