Aldi sour grapes?

Literally. I'm not sure how the quality compares with other supermarkets. Perhaps its why they are on sale at 49p/500g ?

What happens if you leave grapes for a few days, do they get more sour or what?

I bought some from Aldi last week and mine where nice - not sour at all. Guess you fell unlucky with your bunch

I have never found Aldi fruit and veg to be lower quality or less tasty than any other supermarket produce. Grapes would be more likely to get more sweet as the sugars develop.

I will leave them for a few days then.

I bought some on Friday and some of them were sour. I've never had any problems with them before though.

My late Nan had a problem with some pears from Aldi about some pears which were not tasty, but she was turned away! The next day my Mom went in with her, and complained about the bad customer service, and she got a refund and some free flowers as an apology! So just go down and complain.

The last grapes I bought were red ones from Tesco, they were really sour too, my son refused to eat them!

It can happen with grapes from any supermarket. Although companies chase the seasons around the world and generally ensure a high quality supply there are "blips"; it is now winter in major grape producing countries such as South Africa and Chile.

I buy grapes every week for my gf from Sainsburys and M&S and most weeks there are fine but every so often there will be a bunch that doesn't taste as good.

Sour grapes are the best

I hate them when they are sweet

Which reminds me I have some in the fridge:T

Hard and sour fruit is my pet hate. Fruit is so expensive. I bought M&S white peaches yesterday- 2.99 for 4. My 2 year old loves them. They are supposed to be ready to eat.Opened them last night and they are as hard as the hobs of hell. Even she said they are yucky!!

not all fruit is expensive - if you buy white peaches from M+S you're sort of asking for a hole in your budget
