Anecdotal tidbits you may like: In Greece, grapes are harvested normally before the feast of the transfiguration of Christ (6 August, tomorrow). If you harvest earlier, they’re very Aesopian and sour, so farmers are really on the edge around these dates, constantly working to prepare the harvest. But if they try leaving the grapes on the vines for a few more days, so they ripen more, you might lose the lot in the rain that usually follows a couple days later the feast. There are few things more enjoyable these days here than taking random walks among the grape fields, chatting with the farmers, and leaving with a big smile and an even bigger bunch of grapes for the rest of your walk to the sea.
