The raw data is available in Excel and raw text, but the latter has several formatting errors. Therefore, the data is imported from the Excel file using the XLConnect package.

if (requireNamespace("XLConnect", quietly=TRUE)) {
  grapes <- download_grapes()
  
  ## Not run: 
    save(grapes, file=file.path("data", "grapes.rda"), compress="xz")
  
## End(Not run)
}
