Thousands order grapes online on New Year’s Eve — Know more about viral Spanish tradition

Live Mint  

People across India ushered in the new year with a handful of grapes on Wednesday — making it one of the highest ordered items on quick commerce platforms. The trend harks back to a now-viral Spanish tradition that calls for people to consume ‘12 lucky grapes’ at midnight in order to have a good year. “Tum log kitna bhi grape grape karlo agle saal tumhara katne hi vala hai,” the platform jibed. The Spanish tradition dates back to the 1800s — possibly after the bourgeoisie in Madrid took note of the French custom of drinking champagne and eating grapes on New Year's Eve.
