What is the difference between an industrial grape and a table grape?
Technical grade is the most balanced in acidity and sugar for winemaking. In addition, it is very tasty and differs from table ones only by the size of the berries and the weight of the clusters themselves. But the sugar content in it is much higher than in table grapes. That is why a fairly small number of people are interested in them. But if you decide to plant Crystal grapes, it will not be a mistake, just, first of all, you need to be aware of why you need it. When, for example, you have only one or two bushes on your site, then with simple care you will get a good harvest, and a quality one at that. What you cannot eat, you can use for juice, but if you are seriously engaged in the production of wines, then you will already need to increase the number of your garden to five bushes or make the formations as large as possible. At the same time, the quality of the wine will be at the highest level, and you will not go wrong in your choice. But in general, it is up to you to decide which variety is more to your liking - technical, which is easier to grow, but less large, or table, requiring special care, but more impressive in size. Most importantly, Crystal grapes are delicious and will take their rightful place in your beautiful garden.
