Let me be subtle on washing grapes...
NEVER, EVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER, NEVER!
Look, If the grapes are purchsed, and they look so bad that you need to wash them, then dont buy them.
Washing will dilute that PH and sugar that the grape grower worked so har to produce!!! Most winegrape clusters have grapes rather tightly packed. This acts like capilaries, drawing the water inward and ensuring that you can never dry them easily.
As stated before, take the time and pick through the grapes instead. If they are too far gone, then dont bother with them!.
