You can't. You could freeze - or bottle or something but they won't be anything like they are fresh.

Thank you, it was worth asking but I thought there maybe an answer.

You can freeze them and use them to pop into drinks - champagne cocktails or similar for example or to decorate a cold dessert with. Or do this (Jamies take on using frozen grapes) -

You could dehydrate them?
But depending on the variety, they might give you really bad gas.

Make them into wine.

You're excellent at all forms of vinegar, aren't you.
