List of grape varieties


This list of grape varieties includes cultivated grapes, whether used for wine, or eating as a table grape, fresh or dried.
The term grape variety refers to cultivars rather than actual botanical varieties according to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, because they are propagated by cuttings and may have unstable reproductive properties. However, the term variety has become so entrenched in viticulture that any change of usage to the term cultivar is unlikely.

Single species grapes

While some of the grapes in this list are hybrids, they are hybridized within between different species within the same genus also known as interspecific hybrids. For those grapes hybridized across species, see the section on [|multispecies hybrid grapes] below.

''[Vitis vinifera]'' (wine)

Red grapes

White grapes

Rose Grapes

''Vitis vinifera'' (table)

Red table grapes

Many commercial varieties commonly called labrusca are actually complex interspecies hybrids.

Wine grapes

Vinifera hybrids (wine)

Hybrid grape varieties or "hybrids" is, in fact, the popular term for a subset of what are properly known as hybrids, specifically crossings between one species of the genus vitis and another. The scientific definition of a hybrid grape is any crossing of two grape varieties. In keeping with the popular definition, however, the ones listed below are inter-specific hybrids where one parent is a European grape. Most of these are complex mixtures of three or more species and all parents are not always clearly known.
