andros_rexI just want juice, is that so much to ask?
Unless you’re looking for Apple or grape juice specifically, this is what you get. I’ve long decided to avoid juices as a result. If I want a sugar water packet, I just pack a honeycrisp apple, orange, Asian pear, plum, or a slightly overripe bartlett pear.

8oz of Welch grape juice has 35g sugar. 20oz of classic coke has 65g sugar. Adjusted for volume, that’s 26g/8oz. Somehow fucking coke has less sugar. Apple is ironically the same as coke at 53g per 16oz
They are, however, made of the fruit they’re named after with little sugar added. That 8oz is about half a pound, and half a pound of grapes is calorically comparable. I’d guess that the apple/juice situation is similar but it’s harder to ascertain because of variation.
We’ve cultivated tree candy, and I can’t see it any other way.
I have an apple tree at home and I’ve tried to make apple juice. It’s absulte rancid if you don’t add tons of sugar. Clearly there’s better kinds of apples for this, but those are also more expensive. So for the stakeholder’s sake, lets add some sugar to the cheap apples and make more profit.
Grape juice and apple juice naturally have that much sugar, even if there’s none added.
