Confused between table grapes and wine grapes?



Here is everything you need to know about the difference between the two!

You may have often come across the two types of grapes,namely, table grapes and the wine grapes. However, there are many more differences between the two types excluding the difference in colour of these grapes. 

If you are a wine lover, you must know what are table grapes vis-à-vis wine grapes from a pragmatic perspective. Although both of these grapes belong to the same genus (vitis), they exhibit distinct characteristics. Here are the key points of differentiation between these two categories of grapes:

1)    Sweetness:
Wine grapes are sweeter than table grapes. The standard table grapes, meant for eating and consumption hold a brix level of 18-20 Brix, whereas wine grapes have got a brix level of around 25 Brix at the time of harvest. Brix is the scale, which is used to measure the percentage of sugar in a liquid such as wine prepared from grapes. Use of sugar during fermentation increases the sweetness of wine grapes as sugar is necessary for this process.

2)    Skin’s Thickness :
Table grapes are not as fat and plumb as wine grapes. Skin of table grapes is thinner, if compared to that of wine grapes.  The thick skins, possessed by wine grapes enable to instil a tasty flavour in the wine.

3)    Seeds and Juice:
Wine grapes are filled with seeds unlike table grapes. The size of seeds inside wine grapes is bigger, that takes up a huge part of the fruit. When you happen to take a bite of wine grapes, they will open up leaving a big, hard seed.  Wine grapes have got higher amount juice content than the table grapes.

4)    Exposure to the Sun:
Wine grapes get more exposure to the sun than table grapes. At the time of growing, the T-shape of wine grapes enables them to be exposed to direct sunlight. Table grapes get hanged under the vines which allows less sunlight to fall directly on the table grape vines. However, as they do not rub against each other, the amount of fruit they can produce is higher than that of vines of wine grapes.

5)    Containment and Transport:
Wine grapes are delicate than table grapes. Thus, it is difficult to contain and transport wine grapes if compared to the table grapes. Thus, most of the times wine grapes are packed properly so as to contain them effectively.

Soma Vine Village is an incredible wine resort in Nashik and owns a fabulous weekend resort i.e. Beyond resort in Nashik, for the tourists wherein they can enjoy their vacation along with some fine dine experience with glasses of wines complementing the food.
