Besides the taste, the cultish enthusiasm over the Cotton Candy grape's appearance in stores is due to the fact that they are only available during a sliver of the year. In 2016, CBS mentioned in a report on the product that they appeared in stores from mid-August through September. The short span of availability drives a mania for the product. "As we get close to the time, the traffic starts to pick up. 'When are they coming? I drove over the store. They didn't have them.' And people almost get mad and it's like, 'Please be patient, you know, when they're ready, we will send them," Jack Pandol, founder of The Grapery, regaled.
However, it isn't even April yet, let alone mid-August, so the Cotton Candy Grapes have arrived much, much earlier.
The reason for the grape's earlier appearance may be due to how its production has spread to the Mexican orchards acquired by the Molina Group in 2018, as noted by FreshPlaza. In the FreshPlaza piece, they announced that they will be the first to sell Cotton Candy Grapes in April, with their season finishing in June, which allows for the Californian farms to have their own time to sell the grapes.
Presumably, if cultivation continues to spread, Cotton Candy Grapes will cease to be a seasonal item and become a mainstay at stores like Aldi and Target.
