Grapes - Spain & Latin America

In Spain and certain parts of Latin America, it's a tradition to ring in the New Year with 12 grapes, eaten at midnight on the dot, to bring good luck for the year ahead. Each grape represents a month of the year, so you're in for a good one if they're all perfectly sweet and juicy! These days, you can even find small tins for sale, containing grapes that are already seeded and peeled.
