Grape Flavored WaterGrape, European or Old World type, Vitaceae Vitis vinifera L, is the type grape, grown in the U.S. mainly in California and Arizona,
constitutes the major portion (tonnage wise) produced bere. The plant is a
long-lived woody vine. In commercial production it is drastically restricted in
size by pruning, and is generally supported on a trellis, but some wine types
are grown with a short, self supporting trunk. Fruit is borne in clusters.
Individual fruits or berries vary in size from 0.33 inch diameter to 1 inch or
more; in shape from round to oval or cylindrical; and in color from light green
to red or black. Skin is smooth and waxy, enclosing a juicy pulp to which it
adheres. Both seedless and seeded kinds are among the dozens of varieties grown
commercially. |
