I was in Costco today and saw one of the employees with one of those huge, 4x6 floor carts with probably 30 crates/flats of grapes (the reddish ones) with"Southern Andes" on the side of the flats. He was throwing them, not very carefully,into a access door in a back wall. I asked, facetiously, "Gonna make wine?" and he said, "These are a little beyond that, but I guess they're going to the crusher." It was only then I realized the door went into a garbage crusher and these grapes were truly getting "pitched!"
Which prompted me to wonder...could they have been used for wine?From what he said,they were starting to go bad, probably had some fuzzy white mold here and there, and so were being tossed out. (Which was why they weren't going to our local food bank). Were they salvagable for wine?
