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 (raisin, currant, sultana). For a complete list of all grape species, including those unimportant to agriculture, see Vitis. The term grape variety refers to cultivars (rather than the botanical varieties that must be named according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants).
Single-species grapes
While some of the grapes in this list are hybrids, they are hybridized within a single species. For those grapes hybridized across species, known as interspecific hybrids, see the section on multispecies hybrid grapes below.
Vitis vinifera (wine)
Red grapes
White grapes
Rose grapes
Vitis vinifera (table)
Red table grapes
White table grapes
Vitis labrusca (wine and table)
Many commercial varieties commonly called labrusca are actually complex interspecies hybrids.
Wine grapes
Red table grapes
Purple/Pink table grapes
Varied/Other
Vitis riparia (wine grape rootstock and hybridization source)
Vitis rotundifolia (table and wine)
Vitis rupestris
Vitis aestivalis (wine)
Vitis mustangensis (table/wine/dyes)
Multispecies hybrid grapes
Vinifera hybrids (wine)
Hybrid grape varieties (see Hybrid grapes) 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 (intra- or inter-specific) 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.
Vinifera hybrids (table)
Non-vinifera hybrids (table and wine)
Non-vinifera hybrids (rootstock)
