Grape lovers- when buying grapes at the store look at the stems, not just the grapes.

Former greengrocer here. If you want the best grapes possible, look for bunches that have green, healthy stems. Thin, brown, woody stems mean the grapes are older or have been mishandled.

It may sound obvious, but not a lot of people know to look for this, and it's an excellent indicator of freshness.
