Excerpt from The Raisin Industry: A Practical Treatise on the Raisin Grapes, Their History, Culture and Curing The principal and most valued class of raisms are the Muscatels or Muscats. They all derive their name from the Muscatel or Muscat grape, from which these raisins are made. As to the origin of the name Muscat, opinions diner. The most popular one is that the grape got its name from the supposed musky flavor peculiar to this variety of grape. It is, however, far more likely that the name is a very ancient one, and derived from the Latin word Muscameaning a fly, - these fine grapes when drying being especially attractive to flies. The Romans called this grape, Uva Apiaria, meaning bee grapes, or grapes beloved by bees, from the fact that the bees are especially attracted to these grapes when they are being dried. The Muscat or Muscatel would then not originally designate a certain variety of grapes, but grapes used for drying generally. In the course of time the name was transferred to or especially given to the best grape for drying purposes, - the Muscatel of our own times.
