Doing things like this to grapes is common in surgical demonstration because of the fragility of the structures and the fineness of the details and the relatability (everyone is familiar with grapes). I used to develop surgical devices and one of the skill demonstrations one of the surgeons I worked with did was smash a grape, put it in a match box then he could sew the skin together behind his back
