Grapes in fridge

[allison_papa]

Hi. I harvested my grapes on Sept. 1. Then have been destemming them over past three weeks and storing in fridge. Are they still safe to make into wine? As it’s been 3 weeks since picking? Thank you!

There's almost no doubt that they are safe, but you should look for rot or less than optimal fruit and remove those berries before crush. If fruit and stats look good there's no reason not to go ahead.

Thank you so much! I was so nervous I would lose them all. We got busy w kids.
