Winogrona, scientifically known as Vitis vinifera, are small, round or oval berries that grow in clusters on vines. They are one of the most widely cultivated fruits globally and have been enjoyed by humans for thousands of years. Grapes come in a diverse range of colors, including green, red, purple, and black, and their flavors can vary from sweet and mild to tart and intense.

The cultivation of grapes, known as viticulture, is practiced in many regions around the world, particularly in temperate climates with adequate sunlight and rainfall. Grapes are primarily used for winemaking, where their sugars ferment into alcohol. However, they are also consumed fresh as table grapes, dried into raisins, and processed into juice, jelly, and other food products.

Nutritionally, grapes are a good source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin K, and contain various antioxidants, such as resveratrol, which are thought to have health benefits. The skins of darker grapes are particularly rich in these compounds. Grape seeds also contain beneficial oils and antioxidants. The versatility of grapes, from their use in beverages to their nutritional value, makes them a significant and popular fruit in human diets and economies.
