Is real grape juice sticky, or does it mean there's extra sugar in it?!
Now I'm sitting on my couch and everything is sticky from that stuff. I'm used to red wine, not grape juice.
Anyway, shouldn't grape juice be as non-sticky as red wine?
I'd hate it if there was industrial sugar in it. The bottle says there isn't - can I trust that?
Answers: I just gave in to an impulse and lugged home a gallon of red grape juice.

Oh yes, grape juice is horribly sticky, that's why it makes good wine. Grapes naturally contain very much sugar, which is chemically the same as industrial sugar. So there are even some food companies, who started to add concentrated grape juice to kid's products instead of industrial sugar, so they can write on the pack "no sugar added".
The reason wine isn't sticky is that fermentation turns the sugar into alcohol.
I've made enough wild grape jelly to tell you that grape juice is *very* sticky stuff, much more sticky than the apple juice we used to feed my son when he was little.
Why don't you try to squeeze a grapefruit, so you can compare the two juices.
By the way, how did everything get sticky? I usually drink my grapefruit, did you bathe in it?
Maybe you better stick to red wine and cigars.(:-))
4 hrs later: Sorry, mixed up grapes and grapefruit.
