Grapes

Grapes are a Cooking ingredient. They are one of the ingredients of a jug of wine. They can be found at two respawning locations: one in the Cooks' Guild, the other in the Phoenix Gang Hideout. Grapes take about 45 seconds to respawn on a medium-sized world. They can also be stolen from the wine stall in Draynor Village. Grapes can be used on a Jug of water to make a Jug of wine.

At one time, they could be purchased from the Culinaromancer's Chest for a reasonable sum, but a March 2009 update tied chest prices to Grand Exchange values, effectively making the Food Store useless. Another update on 25 March 2009 restored the old prices. Grapes cannot be consumed (eaten).

Guards, goblins, and hobgoblins now commonly drop them and always in groups of 3.

Locations

 * Cooks' Guild.
 * Phoenix Gang's Hideout. (Accessible only by members of the Phoenix Gang.)
 * The wine stall in Draynor village (using the thieving skill).
 * Dropped by Various Guards and Goblins (level 2,3,6).
 * You can find them on the Lumbridge castle porch.
 * Hobgoblins and guards drop them.

Making Money
Due to their relatively high value compared to their respawn time, grapes can be an easy and fast way to make money for Free-to-play players. Any player who can enter the Cooks' Guild (req. 32 Cooking or over and a chef's hat), or the Phoenix Gang Hideout can collect them from their respawn locations. Alternatively, players can kill Guards or Goblins and receive them as a drop. These can then be sold on the Grand Exchange, to players looking to make wine, for a considerable profit. This strategy works particularly well for low level players because it only requires being part-way through the Shield of Arrav quest. Alternatively, you can also go to the air runecrafting world, world 16. Many players kill the guards for fun, but since their inventories are full of essence, they will not pick up the grapes.
