Grapes come in hundreds of varieties, each with its own color, flavor, and best use. Here are 25 popular types, from supermarket favorites to special treats worth trying.
Popular Red Grapes
Flame Seedless is crisp, sweet, and one of the most common red table grapes. Crimson Seedless has a firm texture and a mildly tart finish. Red Globe is very large, with big seeds and a light, juicy flavor. Ruby Roman, Autumn Royal, and Scarlotta add richer, deeper sweetness to the red group.
Favorite Green Grapes
Thompson Seedless is the classic green grape, mild and sweet. Sugraone offers a crisp bite with balanced sweetness. Autumn King is large and crunchy, while Princess grapes are long, elegant, and very sweet. Italia grapes have a light muscat-like aroma.
Rich Black and Blue Grapes
Concord grapes have a bold, jammy flavor and are used in juice and jelly. Black Beauty is sweet and seedless, and Autumn Royal is large and firm. Sweet Sapphire grapes are long, crunchy, and naturally very sweet. Moon Drops are dark, finger-shaped, and fun to snack on.
Specialty and Novelty Grapes
Cotton Candy grapes taste remarkably like the fair treat. Muscadine grapes are thick-skinned and aromatic, popular in the American South. Champagne grapes are tiny, sweet, and often used as garnish. Niagara grapes have a strong, fruity aroma, and Catawba grapes are tangy and used for juice and wine.
Wine Grape Varieties
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling are among the best-known wine grapes. They are usually smaller, thicker-skinned, and more intensely flavored than table grapes.
How to Choose the Right Grape
For snacking, choose seedless red or green varieties. For jams and juice, pick Concord or Niagara. For something unusual, try Cotton Candy or Moon Drops. Look for firm, plump grapes attached to green, flexible stems.
