The ones on the tree, that is. I have taken it as a sign that they should be stuffed into jars and covered in good Polish vodka.

With most grape pulp being white, the color is introduced by the anthocyanins found in the skins. These compounds are glucosides, sugars, and act as both a UV light attenuator and a colorant to attract animals for seed dissemination. In wine, it provides healthful antioxidant properties which is why we want to drink red wine. But if you love white wine as I do, be sure to add some red wine to your diet.Vinomakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011614457295554688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-80500352587905198652009-08-31T11:17:15.115-07:002009-08-31T11:17:15.115-07:00warm grapes off the vine...one of gods little gift...warm grapes off the vine...one of gods little gifts.Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.com
