90% of the grapes grown world wide are used in [[wine]]. Wine grapes are green and red. Grapes are also eaten fresh. Purple or white grapes are squished to make [[juice]]. [[Jam]]s and jellies are made from juice and pulp; fruit leather is made from the skin and pulp. Grape seed oil is made from the seeds. This oil is used for cosmetics and cooking. It is rated higher than extra virgin [[olive oil]]. After harvest, table grapes are sent directly to market. Wine grapes are picked into bins and sent to a [[winery]]. At the winery, the grapes are crushed. For white wine the skins and seeds are removed. The juice is put into containers to ferment. This fermentation process which creates alcohol and carbon dioxide takes 10 to 30 days or more depending on the type of wine that is produced. Then the wine is racked and all the pulp, seeds and skin are removed. The wine is put into casks or barrels to age; then it is bottled and sold. (Icewedge thinks you apply suction to buttocks.)

Early grape growers tried to import European varieties to grow in North America. These vines were ruined by the cold winters and various [[disease]]s and [[insect]]s. Now European grapes are grown by grafting European grapes onto North American stock.  Grapes also need to be protected from [[bird]]s. This can be done by netting the grapes, using gigantic noise machines, or using colorful streamers which frighten and annoy the birds. Fencing a vineyard is important to keep [[deer]] out. [[Rabbit]]s like young grape vines, which is why poison must be placed around the perimeter of the vineyard. [[Insecticide]]s are sometimes used to control many insects that damage grape plants.
