If you love grapes and have a lot of money to blow, go to Japan and try the new variety of Ruby Roman grapes. A bunch of them just sold for 100,000 yen (about $920) at an auction in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. For a 35-grape bunch, that's about $26 per grape, which can grow as large as three centimeters in diameter. The buyer, local upscale hotel Kagaya Inn, gave two grapes to each of their select customers staying in their best rooms. [via Neatorama]
