    Not surprising, I’d guess a wine bottle can hold about 200 whole grapes of the varieties that are grown for wine which iirc are smaller sized grapes.

          I disagree. I’ve got a Sauvignon Blanc vine that makes the tastiest grapes I’ve ever had. Sure, they are small and full of seeds, but they are way above table grapes for flavour

            Huh interesting, that’s different from what I’ve tasted and read in articles, but it’s entirely possible that your particular variety is superior

              I was very surprised when eating it. Like you, I’ve read articles about wine grapes and I was expecting it to be bad.

              I’ve taken cuttings off this vine, so maybe at some point I can get enough to make wine. Maybe the wine will be incredibly poor flavour.

                  Pretty easy if you get a type appropriate to your climate. They take a bit of work in the sense of pruning and training. It isn’t difficult, but it needs to be done correctly to get the plant to fruit.

                  If you like gardening than it is fun.
