Default Why do grapes crack

Why is it that during the veraison stage more grapes are susceptible to
cracking


I don't know about grapes at veraison may they may behave similarly to other
fruit at ripening.

In tomatoes the cell walls weaken during ripening and the internal pressure
of the cells is all transferred to the skin which often cracks under the
stress.
