Grape growing, or viticulture, involves cultivating grapevines for wine production, table grapes, or raisins. The process begins with selecting the right grape variety, which depends on climate, soil type, and intended use. Proper care, including pruning, watering, and pest management, is essential for healthy vine growth and fruit quality. Harvesting typically occurs in late summer to early fall when grapes reach optimal ripeness. Growers assess sugar levels and acidity to determine the best time for picking. After harvesting, grapes are often processed for wine or sold as fresh table grapes. Successful grape growing requires knowledge of local conditions and careful management practices.
