Wine Grapes Are Lean and Mean Wine grapes are grown to produce the

sweetest and most potent grapes. They are smaller, riddled with seeds, have thicker

skins and higher juice content (vs. pulp). Wine grapes are delicate and difficult to

transport. When you eat a fresh wine grape they ooze apart leaving you with

crunchy bitter seeds and chewy grape skin.

M o st co m m o n l y cu l t i v a t ed g r a p es a r e Vitis vinifera

About 90% of cultivated grapes in the world are Vitis vinifera . Vitis vinifera is

commonly called The European grapevine which has ancestral roots in Iran. It

includes wine grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and table grapes like Red Globe

grapes.

T h e W i n e Gr a p e F a m i l y T r ee

Table grapes and wine grapes are related to one another through their genus Vitis .

There are more than 70 different species that are within the Vitis genus including

the most common, Vitis vinifera , to the more ornamental, Vitis californica . All

wine grapes are Vitis vinifera. There is now documented proof of 40 species of

grapes indigenous to China.

Next time youre driving through vineyards you can identify the type of grapes

(table grapes vs. wine grapes) by looking at the trellises.

W i n e g r a p e v i n ey a r d s

Wine grape vineyards commonly use vertical trellises to manage the greenery (aka

canopy) and grape exposure to sun. The goal with wine grapes is to concentrate the

flavor of the grapes produced.

Managing vine vigor is important for wine grape growers. Vine vigor is how

productive a vine is. An overly vigorous vine will produce a lot of average quality

grapes, a lower vigor vine will produce fewer more concentrated grapes. More

concentrated grapes = better wine.

Ta b l e g r a p e v i n es

Table grapes are grown in a way to reduce clusters from rubbing other clusters,

stems or leaves. A trellis system that lets the grapes hang independently is better

for producing picture table grapes. Table grapes tend to be more vigorous than

wine grapes and grow in areas with soils high in nutrients such as river valleys.

A single mature Cowart muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) table grape vine can

produce 15-30 lbs of grapes per vine . A mature Zinfandel (Vitis vinifera) wine

grape vine produces about 8-12 lbs of grapes per vine.
