American grapes, primarily from the Vitis labrusca species, tend to have a stronger, sweeter flavor and are commonly used for table grapes and juice, with varieties like Concord being well-known. In contrast, European grapes, mainly from the Vitis vinifera species, are favored for wine production due to their more complex flavors and aromas, including varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Additionally, European grapes generally have thinner skins and lower sugar content compared to their American counterparts, influencing their suitability for winemaking.
