Grapes a genus of about 60 to 80 species of grapevines in the family Vitaceae, native to the north temperate region, including varieties that can be eaten as table fruit, producing raisins. Can be dried to make, or crushed to make grape juice. or alcohol. In dry areas it can become an almost erect shrub. The edible leaves are alternate, palmate and always toothed. Small greenish flowers, in clusters, precede the fruit, varying in color from nearly black to green, red, and amber. Botanically, the fruit is a berry, more or less round, with seeds inside a juicy pulp. In many varieties the fruit has a whitish powdery coating or bloom.

Grapes contain minerals like calcium and phosphorus and are a source of vitamin A. All grapes contain varying amounts of sugar depending on the variety. Those high in glucose are the most easily fermented. The ripe fruit of all cultivated grapes ferments into a type of wine when crushed, and most grapes can be eaten dried or fresh. However, it is the European wine grape that is mostly used to produce standard or high quality wines. There are at least 5,000 reported varieties of this grape, which differ from each other in characteristics such as color, size and berry shape. juice composition cooking time
and disease resistance. They are grown in a wide variety of climatic conditions, and many different processes are used to produce wine from them. All of these possible variations contribute to the wide
variety of wines available.

The summer grape is considered the oldest American grape cultivar. The fruit is suitable for making wine, but vine cultivation is difficult. The thick-skinned muscadine grape of the southeastern United States is used in artisan wines and jellies.Of the thousands of domesticated grape varieties,only three make up most of the raisins of the trade,15 to 20 are widely grown as grapes, and a few are used for canning. Grapevine leaves, stem fragments, and seeds recovered from Neogene and Paleogene deposits in the Northern Hemisphere indicate the long existence and wide distribution of members of the genus.
