wine grape
Fermentation's raw material
A wine grape is a variety of grape cultivated specifically for winemaking rather than eating fresh or drying into raisins.
Wine grapes tend to be smaller, sweeter, and more acidic than table grapes, with thicker skins that contribute tannins and color.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir are well-known wine grapes.
