Small round fruits that grow in bunches on vines, usually purple, green, or red, and are eaten fresh or made into wine and juice.
From Old French 'grape,' possibly related to a Germanic root meaning 'cluster' or 'hook' (referring to the grape-picking tool). The fruit itself likely took its English name from the tool used to harvest grape bunches.
Grapes are one of humanity's oldest farmed crops—archaeologists found evidence of grape growing 8,000 years ago—and they literally shaped civilization because wine became so important for trade, medicine, and culture.
