Grapevines are climbing plants belonging to the genus Vitis, commonly known for producing grapes. They thrive in warm climates and are often cultivated in vineyards for their fruit, which can be eaten fresh or used to make products like wine, raisins, and grape juice. Grapevines have a unique growth habit, using tendrils to cling to supports as they grow.
These plants typically have broad, lobed leaves and can produce clusters of small flowers that develop into grapes. Grapevines require well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight to flourish. They are also known for their longevity, with some vines living for several decades or even centuries.
