Grapes

A cluster of purple or green grapes on a stem.

The Grapes emoji typically represents the fruit itself, but its meaning extends to a wide variety of related contexts. It’s frequently used to talk about wine, vineyards, and harvesting. People also use it when discussing health and nutrition, as grapes are a classic healthy snack.

It's commonly used to discuss:

• Wine and winemaking
• Healthy eating and fruit salads
• The harvest season and vineyards
• Vampires, due to the Dracula-like association with the color purple and the common use of grapes in pop culture

Because of its deep purple color, it's also sometimes used as a visual metaphor for bruising or to refer to the color itself. Additionally, people may use it to symbolize a “bunch” of something, like a "bunch of friends."
