The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

She broke 3 ribs apparently :(
Is that a lot? Wine grapes are small and have seeds
Yeah it sounds like a big number but I'm surprised at how little it actually is
Is that two or three bottles of berries worth?
Thank you for your service, grapes.
Man, I totally forgot this scene. It's been so long.
It has passed into the realm of pure meme now:-).
I can only assume that smashing testicles led you thinking of stomping grapes.
Well, I’m very thirsty now.
what
Testicle juice
Not surprising, I'd guess a wine bottle can hold about 200 whole grapes of the varieties that are grown for wine which iirc are smaller sized grapes.
Smaller, but tastier
As wine yes, but as an eating grape definitely not
I disagree. I've got a Sauvignon Blanc vine that makes the tastiest grapes I've ever had. Sure, they are small and full of seeds, but they are way above table grapes for flavour
Huh interesting, that's different from what I've tasted and read in articles, but it's entirely possible that your particular variety is superior
I was very surprised when eating it. Like you, I've read articles about wine grapes and I was expecting it to be bad.
I've taken cuttings off this vine, so maybe at some point I can get enough to make wine. Maybe the wine will be incredibly poor flavour.
How hard is it to grow grapes? Seems like itd be fun
Pretty easy if you get a type appropriate to your climate. They take a bit of work in the sense of pruning and training. It isn't difficult, but it needs to be done correctly to get the plant to fruit.
If you like gardening than it is fun.
I would enjoy those grapes better one at a time. Unless they are really sour.
Generally grapes used to make wine are not really great to eat.
Sure are. What are you talking about?
...supermarkets usually have the breeds with berries larger than a thumb (and imo too sweet), because they keep longer. Maybe you're only used to them? But those are not typical grapes.
Completely disagree. Wine grapes are good too. In small quantities though, eat too many of them and there's a flavour that starts accumulating, which turns you off from eating too many.
Oh damn, i got confused here because in french "grappe" is the word for "grape cluster" so at first i was thinking it needed hundred of clusters for one bottle, and wine seemed very very wasteful to me for one moment
What a waste of grapes
Not if you enjoy wine:-P
It’s objectively a waste of grapes and I think it’s pretty obvious
Grapes don't keep well, wine does. Why do you think people started making wine and e.g. cider? Great way to preserve fruit juice.
Today’s wine isn’t being made to keep grapes from going bad, the past doesn’t apply to now.
So what do you have against wine? It's not ikke butter is a waste of milk, it's a refined product. Same with wine.
I think I stated what I have against it in my original comment
OK be that way
Why are you being so defensive about wine?
I'm not 🙂 but you're making a surprising statement and refusing to elaborate or have a conversation. Which is surprising to me, why engage in the first place then?
You engaged me first? wtf is there to elaborate on? This isn’t a very deep subject
I was thinking that myself.
Why feed people when you can feed tgeir addiction and make them uncomfortable to be around.
