Grapes are one of the best fruits for making wine. Although all other fruits can be used, grapes provide all the necessary parts to make a sound wine. They are heavy in sugars, necessary for fermentation, have the requisite amounts of acids, to give wine its taste, and are available in quantity in many parts of the world.

The best wine is strictly a personal preference and for centuries the Vinifera vine has produced some of the worlds finest. The names, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,and Riesling, are a few of the most Noble of the grapes. Today through hybridization we have many more. Through this selective breeding we have been able to breed out some of the challenges the Vinifera vine gives. The lack of cold hardiness, the resistance to many of the fungal infections, and the making of wine that tastes good is the goal
