table grape

Fresh snacking variety

A table grape is a grape variety cultivated for eating fresh rather than for wine production or drying into raisins.

Table grapes are bred for sweetness, firm texture, and thin skins: Thompson Seedless is the most common table grape in American supermarkets.

The distinction matters to growers and grocers but rarely to consumers, who simply call them grapes.
