A Bunch Of Grapes Is Sold For A Record-Breaking $10,000 In Japan

While the Northeast peach shortage might have us shelling out more than usual for peaches, it's nothing compared to what people in Japan are willing to pay for high-end fruit — especially the first of the season.

A bunch of Ruby Roman grapes were sold for a record-breaking 1.1 million yen ($10,900), the most expensive single bunch of grapes sold at a wholesale auction in Japan, reported Global News.
