Grape vine Varities in The World

By Allah Dad Khan

American Varities

Flame seedless

• Light red, crisp, sweet fruit. Good for fresh use, or makes good raisins. Good vigour and productivity. In USA it ripens late July to early August. The standard red grape found in supermarkets.

Black Monukka: • a purplish-black grape that,

except for colour, is similar in most respects to Thompson Seedless. Although it is hurt by temperatures that go below -23 °C, it recovers well and is well worth keeping due to it's very high fruit quality. Although a very old variety it is one of the best eating grapes. Berries are large with tender skin. Bunches are medium-large and loose. Flavour is crisp and sweet. Cane or spur pruning.

Canadice:• early ripening, more winter hardy

than most seedless grapes, although trunk injury has occurred on some sites. It produces medium (6" - 8") clusters with small red berries that have a spicy grape taste. Excellent for fresh use, good for juice, jelly, and wine.Vigorous grower; sets lots of fruit reliably. With cordon training systems and careful management, vines can be extremely productive. Fruit rot is a problem in wet years because the clusters are excessively compact.Bunch weight = 227 gm. Berry weight = 1.6 gm

Vanessa: • early ripening. Developed by HRIO,

Canada, and is a red dessert grape of excellent quality. The vine is moderately vigorous and among the hardiest of seedless grapes. Grafting may be desirable on many sites to increase vine size (vines grafted on 5C at trials in Fredonia, New York, however, have shown poor fruit set with very small berries). The seed remnant is usually large and soft; when noticeable it is sometimes a cause for limited marketability. Deep-red berries are oval, medium in size on medium-loose well-filled clusters. The flavour is mild and fruity. Berry texture is firm and resists rain. Storage potential is good. The fruit quality is among the best of the red seedless types

Thompson

•The one you see in the grocery store—a snack time favorite. Unbeatable for fresh use! Pale green fruit is sweet and delicious, with no bitter aftertaste. Dependably productive vines average 20-30 clusters apiece

Ruby Seedless

• The ruby seedless has a richer, deeper color than the Flame, but the grapes are smaller, with a shape like a Pearlette. They have a tougher skin and less flavor than Flames. They're the last of the season for seedless grapes.

Red Seedless• Red seedless grapes, which

come on the market after Thompsons, are becoming one of the most popular grapes around. The Red Flame variety is relatively new, but it may soon surpass Thompsons in popularity. A cross between the Tokay (a seeded grape) and a round seedless, Red Flames are firm and sweet, with a very good crisp texture.

Black beauty

• Black Beauty is a new variety of seedless grape with a relatively short season. It doesn't have quite the flavor that the other varieties do. The Chilean black seedless grapes are better than those we get from California. Domestic black grapes are available in June and July, while Black Beauties from Chile are available in mid-winter

Muscat Grapes

• Muscat grapes range from a pale green (almost white) color to a deep, deep purple (almost black) color. They are often thought of as a wine grape, but they make tasty table grapes too

Autumn Royal Grapes

• These large seedless grapes are in season throughout the fall

Europian Varities

Beauty Seedless• Beauty Seedless: blue-

skinned, seedless, small to medium-sized, oval fruit with firm flesh and spicy flavor. Beauty Seedless is an early-season black seedless table grape developed and released by H.P. Olmo at the University of California, Davis in 1954. Formerly known and tested as K 5-69, the cultivar resulted from the cross of Scolokertek kiralynoje x Black Kishmish

Candice

• Candice: red-skinned, seedless, small, oval fruit with juicy flesh and mild red grapey flavor. Ripens mid-season.

Red Flame Grapes (a.k.a. Flame Tokay Grapes)

• Red Flame Grapes are seedless, crunchy, and have a nice sweet-tart balance.

Cardinal

• Cardinal: red-skinned, seedless, large fruit that is round to elongate with firm, crisp fruit with a Muscat-like flavor. Ripens early, late spring to mid-summer

Black Monukka Grapes

• Black Monukka Grapes are used for raisins, but are also a crisp, sweet table grape. Their thin skins, however, mean they aren't great for shipping. Look for them fresh at markets or try growing your own.

Concord

• Concord: purple-black skinned medium to large, round fruit with juicy flesh, sweet near the skin and tar near the seeds. Use for dessert, juice, and jelly. Some varieties are seedless. Ripens mid-season

Fantasy Seedless

• Fantasy Seedless: blue-black skinned, seedless, large oval fruit that is firm and very sweet. Ripens mid-season.

Italia Muscat:

• yellow green-skinned, seeded, very large fruit with tender juicy flesh with a heavy, sweet muscat flavor. Ripens midseason, late summer through late fall.

Marroo Seedless

• Marroo Seedless: blue-black, seedless, medium-sized fruit with firm, juicy flesh and sweet, mellow flavor. Ripens mid-season.

Ribier

• Ribier: purple-blue skinned, seeded, large to very large, plump, round fruit with sweet juicy flesh with mildly astringent skin. Ripens mid-season.

Ruby Seedless:

• red-skinned, seedless, medium-sized, oval fruit with firm, crisp, juicy flesh that is sweet tart taste. Ripens late mid-season, late summer to early winter

Red Globe:

• red-skinned, seeded, very large, round fruit with firm flesh with mild, sweet flavor. Ripens mid-season, fall to mid-winter.
