How do they get the seeds out of grapes?
Nearly all grape vines that are grown are not grown from seeds, but from cuttings off of another vine. Grape growers have been doing this for hundreds of years, and it has beeen done so much that now, grapes don't grow with seeds in them.
I live in central CA one of the largest grape growing areas of the United States and there are seedless grapes and there are grapes with seeds. The person above is correct that vines are grown from cuttings and grafted to another vine. Some vines are hundreds of years old. The grapes you get in the store that are green are called Thomson seedless and they are used for raisins as well. There is another grape called Red Flame that is also seedless now sold.

Whch is the Best Pycnogenol or Grape Seed Extract?
"Pycnogenol" was inked in 1979 by a French scientist, Professor Masquelier (1921-2009) as a scientific name of OPC from French maritime pine park extract and grape seed extract (See: Masquelier J, Michaud J, Laparra J, et al. Flavonoides and pycnogenols.
Intern J Vit Nutr Res 1979;49:307-11).
Masquelier worked with his former Swiss broker Horphag, in attempt to commercialize Pycnogenol world-wide. Without consent of Masquelier, Horphag unitarily registered pycnogenol as a trademark by 1990 under the ownership of Horphag in US, causing severe legal disputes in US. Consequently, the most prominent scientist in this field was legally ripped off.
Horphag has made huge profits from Masquelier's intellectual property. Actually, the best French OPC from French maritime pine bark and grape seed is marked in the trade name of FrenchGlory isotonic OPC.
Pycnogenol as a US-registered trademark has been a controversy for about 2 decades. SCERPA, a French company founded by Masquelier initated a legal proceeding to opppose the trademark registration in March 1991 at USPTO, but abandoned the opposition proceeding in September 1992 for whatever reason.
International Nutrition Company (INC), a Netherlands company that accquired SCERPA, initiated a trademark cancellation proceeding in August 1997 on the ground of fraud. INC abandoned the legal proceeding in May 2003 after nearly 6 years of legal battle.
Isotonic OPC Antioxidants Inc. (or AmeriNutra Inc) initiated a legal proceeding of trademark cancellation with USPTO in January 2011, on the ground of genericness of PYCNOGENOL. This legal case is currently going on as May 2012.
I don't know that it's the best time. But we live caldwell, Idaho and we pick and jucie ours in late September.
What is the difference between red grapes and green grapes?
It is more than simply the colour that differentiates the two. In terms of what they are used for, green grapes can be made into sultanas or white wine, and red grapes can be made into raisins and red wine.
They both have the same origin, and considering that there are so many variations of both, it is hard to say that one is different in a particular way to the other. But generally speaking, red grapes are better for memory retention and have a stronger taste than green; green grapes also tend to be sweeter, on average.
Refers to Aesop's Fable; 'The Fox and the Grapes'. After many failed attempts to leap up and get the grapes, the fox walks away and says 'they were probably sour anyway'.
