Grape, (genus Vitis), the genus of about 60 to 80 species of vining plants in the family Vitaceae, native to the north temperate zone, including varieties that may be eaten as table fruit, dried to produce raisins, or crushed to make grape juice or wine. The grape is usually a woody vine, climbing using tendrils (modified branches) and often reaching a length of 17 meters (56 feet) or more when untrained. In arid regions, it may form an almost erect shrub. The edible leaves are alternate, palmately lobed, and always tooth-edged.
Small greenish flowers, in clusters.
