As a winemaker I use wine grapes that are very different from table grapes. Every year at the grape harvest in September or October, I put two or three bunches of grapes in ziplok bags in the freezer just for this tradition. You can use any grape you can get, be it a wine grape or table grape. The object here is to eat one grape each time the clock chimes down at ‘media noche’ midnight to ensure a lucky year ahead. In Madrid where I lived, everyone gathers at any of the plazas, like Plaza Cybeles, Plaza de Espana, Plaza Mayor etc. and drinks Cava, the Spanish sparkling wine that’s like Champagne and has a blast until the wee hours of the ‘manana’ or morning. Then it’s off for ‘desayuno’ breakfast or ‘tapas’. Les desea a Prospero Ano Nuevo a todos,

Won’t take a chance on this sorry MS

But how to act when someone doesn’t have cash? The only one way is to get the personal loans and sba loan.
