wild grape

Untamed climbing berry

Wild grape refers to any of several grape species that grow uncultivated in woods and thickets, particularly in North America.

The vines climb trees and fences, producing small, tart fruit used for jellies and wine.

The fence was covered in wild grape.

Distinguished from cultivated table and wine grapes, wild grapes are foraged rather than farmed.
