Grapes are the fruits produced by vines. They are small, edible fruits with round or oval shapes with a thin skin and a very juicy pulp. They grow in bunches, forming clusters, and can be consumed fresh or be used to produce must, wine, brandy, vinegar and pisco. Grapes can be black, purple, yellow, gold, pink, orange or white.

Chile is one of the world’s leading grape producers. Among other benefits, grapes are an excellent remedy against stress because their antioxidants help fight free radicals.
