Grape price

[GrandpasFootsteps]

The LHBS has a paper posted on their board from someone selling fresh grapes locally which should be ready around July 4. It says 90lbs should make 5 gallons and the price is $0.60/lb for the grapes. Is that a good price? Is 90lbs sufficient? I didn't notice the variety, but it was on there.

I have bought grapes around here in the past, I get 100# to make 5 to 6 gallons, depends on the grape. Norton is mostly seeds and skin so you need more to get enough juice. Price goes anywhere from .50c to $1 a pound. less if you pick, more if they pick.

That price is about right but varietal is important. Is that local fresh grapes or imported grapes being sold locally?
