We have a grape vine in our yard it is wine grapes I believe because they are not sweet.?

Question

Can I do anythign else with them other than make wine?

Answer 1

some grapes that are used in wines are sweet, some are not, depends on the type of wine... your grapes could be wine grapes, but you might need to add sugar to make it any good... or it could be one of a variety that are just not used for much if anything.  I had some grape vines that grew stuff that was putrid but wasn't used for wine

Answer 2

You can also make jelly or jam - just add sugar.  :-)

Answer 3

Even wine grapes should get sweet when they ripen. Unripe grapes make the best jams and jellies, though. You can also make vinegar.
