Wine making grapes come in a multitude of thousands of varieties and possibly even more hybrids. This choice, becomes the sole decision of the wine maker to decide which variety will be used to provide the highest quality finished product. Still, with as many varieties as are available, you are still able to break the majority of grapes down into only 3 major groups. The first group is , Native Wild Grape, also known as Vitis Muscadinia.
Any wine making professional will tell you that grapes are hands down, the most important part of creating the best wine possible. The different varieties allow for different sweetness, taste, and aroma, among many other things. Contained in the rest of this article are some descriptions of various types of grapes and their resulting wine.
The next group is called Native Wine Grape, or can also be referred to as Vitis Lambrusca. In this group, wine making grapes such as Concord, Catawba, Niagara and Delaware grapes are included. The grapes contained within this group are completely indigenous to the North American continent. And while their flavor and aroma are not as strong as that of Native Wild Grapes, their acidity level can be remarkably high. This acidity is of concern to grower's as it could potentially make their finished bottle of wine too sharp tasting. Also, grapes in this grouping typically have a higher sugar content and can be much sweeter than Native Wild Grapes.
The actual sugar content as the wine breaks down and ferment's will ultimately determine how sweet or bitter a wine is. Between the aroma, general taste, and the acidity level of the wine is what will generally all become of the decisions of the wine maker.
Typically, the Merlot grape is grown in France, Italy, and Australia. However more recently, vineyards have begun to grow this grape in California and Washington states. Last and certainly not least on this list of wine making grapes is Zinfandel. Most of this type of grape are grown in California. Depending on grow time and fermentation cycle, this wine may have either a fruity or spicy taste in either the red wine or white wine categories. Wine making and grapes go hand in hand and without grapes, wine is literally impossible.
