What is a "grape vine"?

A grape vine is a climbing plant characterized by its woody stems and tendrils that allow it to grow and cling to structures. It is the primary source of grapes, which are used for various purposes, including winemaking, fresh consumption, and making grape-based products. Grape vines require proper care, including pruning, training, and trellising, to ensure healthy growth and optimal grape production. With their ability to thrive in diverse climates, grape vines have become a symbol of viticulture and play a significant role in the agricultural and culinary world.
