Grapes

Grapes are symbols of WINE in intoxication, hospitality, orgy, and youthfulness; a bunch of grapes is an attribute of fertility icons, such as Bacchus. Pleasure and lust also related. Sacrifice when wine equals blood, it is a Jewish tradition on Passover to pour out 10 drops of wine for each of the ten plagues inflicted on the Egyptians.
