Notes
Select grapes that are firm, but have a little give when squeezed so they soak up for champagne.
Do not pat grapes dry, the moisture helps sugar adhere.
To make the sugar process easy, use a powdered sugar spoon or small strainer to gently shake grapes and remove excess sugar off over the sink for a picture perfect coat.
If sugar becomes clumpy, remove clumps or replace.
