世间至臻完美的果实
Explanation:
第一感觉是『世间最美好的果实』，但个人觉得，既然原作者用了两个best，希望表达意思恐怕不仅限于“最美好”，所以将这里译为『世间至臻完美的果实』。

p.s: 不知道原作的灵感是不是来自法语的le meilleur des mondes possibles :)

原文中强调原产地了吗？若也强调原产地的话，或许可以考虑一下『最美好的果实来自世间最美丽的地方』。

agree  Ze Liu: 莫不如调过来说，来自全球葡萄最佳产地的极品葡萄。这里的 world 似乎应该是指各种葡萄种植园。

  -> :) thank you for the comment. 其实不管是法文还是英文，原作是完全可以用葡萄或葡萄园这样直接的字眼来表述的，很多厂商的确也是这样做的。但是我对原文的理解是，原作不倾向于这么直接的表达，正如我之前提到的猜测，或许原作想玩味“le meilleur des mondes possibles”这一理念。另外，fruit在这里可以是葡萄也可是一瓶精心出品的佳酿，所以我个人在这里不倾向于直接译成葡萄。关于“极品”的说法，繁中地区我不太清楚，但是在简中地区，“极品”带有戏虐的意思。
