The first one is eaten fresh, its clusters are usually heavy, and the berries are large and tasty.Technical varieties are intended for processing; the berries contain a lot of sugars, which is very important in the production of wine or juice.
What are the climatic conditions of the region and the composition of the soil on the site. Different varieties require a special climate, because there are frost-resistant varieties and grapes that can only grow at above-zero temperatures. In such cases, the vine will have to be covered for the winter and pruned in a special way. Regarding the composition of the soil, everything is simpler: you can always replace the soil or enrich it with the necessary components.
How quickly the vine forms and the shoots ripen. This factor directly determines when young grapes begin to bear fruit. This also includes the yield of a particular variety.
Quality and taste of fruits - those indicators that are especially important for every winegrower.

Advice! Beautiful large berries will seduce any owner. But you should not pay attention only to external characteristics: first of all, the variety must be suitable for the climate of the region.
