Grapes will keep for 10 to 15 days in the refrigerator and about 4 to 5 days at room temperature. Check your grapes for ripeness upon receipt. Consume the softer fruits and those with small cracks first. If you discover mould, remove the affected fruit so that it does not spread to the entire panicle. Wash the grapes well before consumption.

FARMER FROM ATHIKA, GREECE
Weather fluctuations can throw me off track.
"I come from a family of farmers, and I love this job. When I work outside, my head clears and I can relax - despite the hard physical work," says Giannis Kollias. He lives with his wife and two children in the Corinthia region on the Peloponnese peninsula. Besides organic grapes, he grows olives on about 8 hectares. "As a trained agronomist, I am against the use of synthetic products. In addition to farming, I work for an organic certification body."
