FYI - here are some values for the amount of free fructose per 100 grams and per serving in some varieties of grapes. As you can see most of them have as much free fructose as HFCS 
grapes, black muscateel 7.7 / 8.1
grapes, Ralli seedless 8.0 / 8.4
grapes, Thompson 8.1 / 8.5
grapes, red globe 7.6 / 7.9
grapes, red 10.0 / 10.5
This information comes from recently published paper from the Australian group that has been doing the most amount of research on the role of fructose in IBS. These researchers found that there wasn't enough good available data about the amount of fructose and fructans in fruits and veggies so they did the measurements themselves. If you are near a university library you might try to get a copy of the article given below.
