Grapes scientifically known as Vitis vinifera belong to the family Vitaceae. For centuries for their sweet & refreshing taste, as well as their potential to be transformed into various products, from wines to jams, grapes have been cultivated in many parts of the world.
Grapes are cultivated in vineyards, which are carefully managed and tended to by skilled farmers known as viticulturists. These farmers ensure the ideal conditions of soil, climate, and care to produce grapes that are packed with flavour and nutrients. Grapes develop from the flowers of the grapevine, which mature into berries. The skin of grapes comes in a variety of shades, from deep purple to light green, and their flavours range from sweet to tart.
Grapes are widely cultivated to sell table purpose grapes or to make wine, raisin, juice, jams, jellies, seed oil, skin care products, etc. The Grape Market size is expected to grow from US $ 200.91 billion in 2023 to US $ 283.10 billion by 2028, at a compound annual growth rate of 7.10% during the forecast period. Here is the list of highest grape producing countries in the world.
