An edible berry that grows in clusters on small shrubs or climbing vines in temperate zones throughout the world. California is the largest US producer -- both for wine and table grapes. In general, grapes are smooth-skinned and juicy; seeded or seedless; divided into color categories of white (ranging from pale yellow-green to light green) or black (ranging from light red to purple-black).
