Concord
Concord grapes are a cultivar derived from the grape species Vitas Labrusca also called the fox grape. Concord is a native North American grape. Concord grapes are used as table grapes, wine grapes, and juice grapes. The skin of a Concord grape is typically dark blue or purple, and often is covered with a lighter colored "bloom" which can be rubbed off. It is a slip-skin variety, meaning that the skin is easily separated from the fruit. Traditionally, most commercially produced Concord wines have been finished sweet, but dry versions are possible if adequate fruit ripeness is achieved.
