Eating 12 grapes under the table on New Year's Eve is a tradition that originated in Spain, known as "uvas de la suerte" or "grapes of luck." This tradition involves consuming 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight, where each grape represents one month in the coming year.

This tradition first appeared in the city of Alicante, Spain, in the early 1900s. There are several theories regarding its origins, one of which is to cope with the surplus grape harvest in 1909. In addition, this tradition was also inspired by the customs of the people of Madrid who imitated French practices in celebrating the New Year.
