    Just don’t seem to be as tasty and juicy as they were in days gone by.
    Opinions?

    Unfortunately this is one of my hobby horses...the kind of sad bleeder that I am ...it's because all we get in Britain is seedless grapes which aren't as good as seeded. They have improved the varieties a lot since they first started fetching them in but seeded are best.

    Bottled liquid grape juice at around the 14% mark is quite pleasant.
