fox grape
Vitis labrusca
Overview
Fox grapes (Vitis labrusca) are a species of wild grape originating in North America. They are a deciduous woody vine with dark blue berries, a thick skin, and sweet flavor. Fox grape vines grow quickly and climb to a height of 15–20 feet. These grapes have nicotine in their leaves, which can impart a strong flavor to the wines they produce. Fox grapes are most commonly used for jellies, jams, and juice, but can also be used to make a strong, robust, and bold red wine. Fox grapes can be eaten raw, dried, or cooked, and they are very popular in the United States.
