Answer 5

Have to echo everyone else's posts.  Grapes have sugar, but not alcohol.  Alcohol is created by fermenting the sugars in grapes with yeast.  That said, if you buy some grapes, let them sit for a long period of time -- until they look a little funky.  They will actually ferment a little.  Try one and they will have a noticeable wine-y taste.
