Many grapes are of the table grape varieties. These are grown for their size and flavor. Many of these grape vines are given ample amounts of water and fertilizer. The growers want the greatest yield for the most profit.
With wine grape vines they are stressed to bring out the best flavors. Harvest yield is not as important as quality of the harvest. Stressing vines means that the soil is not over fertilized nor over watered. In many cases the soil is under nourished to make the vines work harder. All this stressing produces grapes that are potent in flavor and great for wine making.
Kit wine manufacturers have the ability to access world class wine grapes from all over the world. There are no Thompson Seedless grapes here! The premium kits have concentrates that rival $30+ commercial bottled wines.
Enjoy responsibly!
