3.38 · Plants · Fruit Parts of Plants
grape, bunch of grapes the small round fruit, sweet and juicy, of a creeping plant that develops a woody stem when it matures; Vitis vinifera; symbol of blessing, prosperity, and happiness Some scholars have contended that βότρυς means primarily a bunch of grapes, while σταφυλή designates individual grapes. In REV 14:18 this difference might seem plausible, but there is scarcely any evidence for such a distinction, since both words may signify grapes as well as bunches of grapes.
In some languages it is necessary to borrow a term for ‘grapes’ from a dominant language and then employ some kind of classifier, for example, ‘fruit called grapes.’ In other languages grapes may be known as ‘wine fruit,’ since wine may be more widely known than a term for grapes.

[in LXX for עֵנָב ;]
a bunch of grapes: Mt 7:16, Lk 6:44, Re 14:18. "σ. is properly the ripe grape-cluster as opp. to ὄμφαξ, cf. Ge 40:10, Jb 15:33; as contrasted with βότρυς, it describes the grapes rather than the cluster on which they grow" (Swete, Apoc., 187 f.).†
