What's up with grapes?

It seems like they are inverted in their pricing. The actual grapes are the raw material for juice, raisins, jellies, etc. and they are more expensive than the final product.
I can buy $9.00 worth of grapes and squeeze out $3.00 worth of juice. And raisins that it seems like would take even more processing are ridiculously cheap compared to grapes. I just don't understand what is happening. Is there some kind of money laundering going on?

They are good. That's why I'm spending so much on them. I tried soaking some raisins in grape juice but it's not the same.

That's hilarious. His process will yield an alcoholic concoction full of infected bacteria.

well, i guess it depends on the grapes and also the juice youre buying.
those designer grapes like cotton candies go for a shite ton.
the juice i bet is likely made from cheaper, less than ideal for consumer consumption in whole form grapes.
just a guess though

Transporting fresh grapes year round vs shelf stable raisins and wine.

Grapes are good, raisins are gross.

Welch's juice is transported by rail in shelf-stable concentrate to the distribution sites. Fresh grapes require more expensive transport. Once it's at the store, a bottle of juice can sit for months, but the grapes have to sell within a week or two so the store needs to make up what they lose and they lose a lot more grapes than grape juice

I love freezing grapes. One of my favorite summer time snacks.

I've getting black grapes at Fresh Pickins, those thing are incredible.
