Vitis vinifera (Wine grape) is a gorgeous vine that flourishes in full sun, making it an excellent addition to any sunny spot in your garden. This plant is deciduous and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. It requires regular watering once a week during warmer months, but only needs moderate watering in cooler weather. The plant is mature and cold hardy in USDA Zone: 6-10.

The fruit is small, round, with thin skin and juicy flesh. It comes in a range of colors from green and yellow to dark-red, and is popular for producing delicious wines, jams/jellies, juice, and soda. The fruit is also packed with health benefits, containing vitamins A, B, and C as well as magnesium, calcium, and iron. It is renowned for being rich in antioxidants and for its ability to strengthen the immune system.

There are currently more than 5000 varieties of Vitis vinifera grapes, though only a few are of commercial significance for wine and table grape production.

Vitis labrusca x vinifera - Blanc du Bois Grape

The award-winning Blanc du Bois grape is considered one of the best choices for winemaking. It's a hybrid variety: European grape combined with a native Florida grape. Blanc du Bois performs well in the Southern states due to its ability to hold up well in heat and humidity. Zones: 5-9.
This is an American hybrid grape that was created in 1968 by John A. Mortensen at the University of Florida by crossing various Vitis vinifera grape varieties such as Golden Muscat with native Florida varieties. When released in 1987, Blanc du Bois became another grape variety in the small but growing number of vine types that can both produce marketable wine on their own yet can withstand bacterial infection that destroys nearly all vinifera vinestocks imported into the southern United States.
Grown in coastal areas in the southeast United States (South Carolina to Texas) and north into the Texas Hill country. Adapted to alkaline and high salt soils.

Recommended Fertilizer: SUNSHINE C-Cibus - Crop Nutrition Booster
