Information.


Common grape vine (Vitis vinifera) is a woody, fruit-bearing vine with a very long and vivid history of cultivation for culinary, recreational, and ritualistic purposes - most notably in winemaking. The earliest known evidence of domesticated wine grapes has been identified in Georgia, and carbon dating traces its domestic origins all the way back to 6000 BC. In addition to wine, the fruit of the common grape vine is eaten in the form of grapes, raisins, and currants.


Tips from Garden Coaches


Although an extremely beautiful and useful plant to have in any type of garden, common grape vine requires quite a specific level of care and protection, especially in colder regions.


Attract Birds


Common grape vine produce the favorite fruit of many birds. These vines sprout clusters of little green flowers. Their fragrant scent attracts many insects, which naturally attract insectivorous birds, especially wrens. By the end of summer, fruits start to appear on the vine. As they change color and get larger, birds eat the sweet fruits. It's a good idea to try and attract wrens to keep other birds away from your grapes. Wrens eat crop-destroying insects and ignore the fruit, and they are also territorial, so they'll keep other birds from attacking the fruits, too. Other birds attracted to common grape vine include the American robin, Baltimore oriole, cedar waxwing, downy woodpecker, eastern bluebird, gray catbird, northern cardinal, northern flicker, northern mockingbird, pileated woodpecker, red-bellied woodpecker, red-eyed vireo, scarlet tanager, towhee, and veery.


Name Story

In 1996 after the discovery of 7,000-year-old wine storage in northern Iran, the vintage history of grapes dates back to the Neolithic Age. Hence, it is called the wine grape.
