Generally wine grapes are smaller and have more seeds. They tend to have thicker skins and are more acidic.<br />I suppose it can be a matter of taste - the best thing to do is just try the grapes and see whether you like them or not?<br /><br />You could make grape juice rather than wine. <br /><br />We eat our grapes fresh - we tried wine making once and the bung blew off in the middle of the night, it was quite a noisy explosion and we ended up with grapes pulp all over the ceiling!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-7537716574945247642010-08-30T09:32:54.779+00:002010-08-30T09:32:54.779+00:00Nice.

We usually give them to our neighbors and they make wine with it.<br />We tried to grow some more tasty grapes, but so far no success.
