Types of Grapes

[rosehenry]

What are the types of grapes which are tasty.
Can anybody helps me.

[Guest]

Choices for grapes are wine or dessert, seeded or seedless, indoor or outdoor. Taste will vary from person to person. I think Sunnybanks vines has the national collection but will help anyway on getting an idea on different varieties specialist vine nursery

What's your location? Are you looking to grow under glass or outside?

[Guest]

Oh and just a note on the indoors or outdoors. I looked into it last year and the indoor bit is to ripen the fruit rather than the tenderness of the actual plant.

Up here table grapes tend to be grown in the greenhouse and vine leaves tend to be grown out doors

Didn't stop me planting outdoor vines though. Two of which aren't on the list from the site you gave.

^^^Oooo, what ya got? Love nosing at peeps varieties Peeps certainly seem to be getting fruitier around here maybe it's the weather

Edit: I think I have something like black hamburg which I gained when I moved but have only managed to sample one or two grapes for various reasons, last year planted phoenix and perlette (which where presents) and managed a swapsie for a Suffolk pink also planted last year. The only one indoors is Perlette

I thought you were after the people that post on here, some odd varieties for sure(me being one of the oddest).

I've a Chardonnay, Regent, Romeo and Vroege van der Laan.

All of which are shorter now than when I bought them. The first three are along the front of the plot at the bottom of an eight foot fence - hopefully to eventually be trained up it.

The Early Van Der Laan is on the Fruiting fence down the middle of my plots poised to fight it out with the kiwi.

Hello Rosehenry and welcome to the Forum. We'd be able to help you better if we knew a little about you - like where you live and the sort of garden or allotment that you have. Do you have a greenhouse or polytunnel? Maybe veg and flower beds around a lawn?

Would you mind popping over to Introduce Yourself! as we're a nosey lot Thanks

I'm growing two eating varieties..

Flame - Seedless Red
Lakemont - Seedless Green

The Flame grape is a popular one in supermarkets.

Here in South Wales the Lakemont broke bud a couple of weeks ago (before the cold snap) and the Flame looks like it's about to break bud (I imagine the recent cold weather has slowed it down a little).

Rosehenry I've moved your thread to "Feeling Fruity" as it will have more views there.
You had posted in "Grapes Recommendations" but that Board is not about choosing Grapes! All the members of this forum (Grapevine) are known as Grapes

We're still waiting for you to tell us where you live as its difficult to make recommendations without this! For all we know you could be in Asia

Are you growing it indoors or in a very sheltered, sunny spot or relying on global warming? It isn't one of the varieties recommended for the UK because of the long period required for ripening. But good luck to you Cabernet is my favourite tipple.

I bought a grafted Lakemont because after a taste test on Gardeners World, Monty Don bought one. Its a sweet, seedless, table grape and appears to be a lot more vigorous than another ungrafted vine bought cheaply from Aldi or Lidl I think.
I am growing the Lakemont in a large pot and will grow the other, planted outdoors, but grown part indoors.
