A
grape is the
fruit of a vine in the family
Vitaceae. It is commonly used for making grape juice, jelly,
wine and
raisins, or can be eaten raw. Many species of grape exist including:\n*
Vitis vinifera, the European
winemaking grapes\n*
Vitis labrusca, the North American table and grape juice grapes, sometimes used for wine\n*
Vitis riparia, a wild grape of North America, sometimes used for winemaking\n*
Vitis rotundifolia, the muscadines, used for jelly and sometimes wine\n*
Vitis aestivalis, the variety Norton is used for winemaking
Hybrids also exist, primarily crosses of
V. vinifera with one or more varieties of
V. labrusca,
V. riparia or
V. aestivalis. Hybrids tend to be less susceptible to frost and disease (notably
phylloxera), but their wine has little of the characteristic "foxy" odor of
labrusca.
Wild grapes are often considered a nuisance weed as they cover other plants and form thick entangling vines.
