“Sour grapes” has never made sense to me as a negative expression because the sour ones taste the best.

The smaller green ones without pips? Yeah these are my favs as well.

You realize it's from one of Aesop's fables, right? The fox wanted to get the grapes, but they were too high up. So he said "ah, I bet they were sour, anyway."
Which is why "sour grapes" means saying something's shit when what really happened was you failed to get it.

They're good for keeping in the freezer during summer so you can have a comforting snack on the hottest days.

In reality grapes make foxes very sick, so it turns out Aesop was a retard.
