The expression comes from a fable of the very know greek Aesop. Sour grapes is a common expression to indicate that someone is despising something just because he cannot get it/have it/reach it. The fable goes like this: One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour." The morale ( It is easy to despise what you cannot get ) of this good old story have been attribued to the words sour grapes by mouth-to-mouth tradition.
