Grape is widely used in the beverage industry for the production of wine. We therefore maintain a constant supply of grapes to our clients both internationally and also on the local market. We continue to seek new doors to expand the production and supply of grapes to our clients. Wine Sipper In general, wine grapes are much sweeter than table grapes, and that sugar is what makes fermentation – we mean alcohol – possible. They typically have big seeds and a lot of juice, and they have thick skin (think: color, flavor and tannins of red wine!). Basically they are the perfect grape for smashing. Imagine trying to smash the grapes you buy from a store – yeah, grapes used for wine aren’t like that. They are much more delicate (aka messy). Grape Popper / Raisin Snacker Table grapes are larger than wine grapes, about twice the size. They usually have less sugar, which makes them more enjoyable to eat and doesn’t aid the fermentation process as well. Table grapes are often bred to be seedless (thank, goodness!) and aren’t as juicy as wine grapes. A thinner, but stronger skin coats a sturdier grape, which makes sense if you think about all these grapes have to go through to get from vine to stores everywhere. The strong skin also means they aren’t as easy to press (for wine!) but they provide that nice crisp bite when you’re snacking on them. Thanks, science! Juice Drinker Making wine from Concord grapes is not very popular due to the “foxiness” of the grape. The labrusca species is commonly known as the fox grape – possibly due to the foxes that eat the grapes, or due to a scent that some have said resembles that of a fox’s fur coat. The labrusca varieties like Concord are known to give off this foxy scent – described as the scent of a wild, musky animal – when fermented. So not the best choice for wine, unless of course you enjoy that taste – and some do.
