A grape is the fruit of a vine in the family Vitaceae. It is commonly used for making grape juice, jelly, wine and raisins, and is eaten raw. Many species of grape exist including:
- Vitis vinifera, the European winemaking grapes
- Vitis labrusca, the North American table and grape juice grapes, sometimes used for wine
- Vitis riparia, a wild grape of North America, sometimes used for winemaking
- Vitis rotundifolia, the muscadines, used for jelly and sometimes wine
- Vitis aestivalis, the variety Norton is used for winemaking
Wild grapes are often considered a nuisance weed as they cover other plants and form thick entangling vines.
