This looks very good!
It would look wonderful with a better subsurface scattering techinique
such as that applied by Kari Kivisalo (see
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/18020/ ). Also needs a
stronger effect of that whitish residue usually found on grapes. :)
Some examples to aspire to . . .

They're coming along nicely. Just a tad more work and then you'll be
ready to time-lapse them into raisins. :)

While I agree the stem colour seems bright I don't know if I would change it
I love the colour the way it is now.

Yes I am aware of Kari Kivisalo's technique. I am further applying a
semi-transparent skin so it is not a straight "sub-surface" effect. I will
experiment further.

Excellent references! Thankyou.

The stem color can change quite dramatically over a few days, from quite green,
when fresh, to a fairly saturated yellowish brown, to a darker, greyer brown. I
agree that the stem color seems to stand out a bit now, but also gave in to it's
seduction for the moment. I hope to switch to mesh and do a more detailed job
of modelling as well as coloring.
