Grapes can be used to make wine sour grapes.

Sour grapes, though, do not sound so tasty.

Did your buddy Craig ask my friend Morgan out for a second date yet?

But Craig told me he wasn't that interested in her, anyway.

Sounds like sour grapes to me, Probably right.

This phrase comes from the ancient Greek storyteller.

A fox tries to eat some grapes from a vine, but they are too high for the fox to reach, So the Fox claims the grapes are probably sour.

When someone has a case of sour grapes, they criticize something desirable that they know they cannot have, just like Craig did after Morgan turned him down.
