🍷 For wine
Moon Drops can be fermented, but it is primarily a table grape, not a dedicated wine grape. Its unusual shape and crisp texture make it much more valuable as a fresh-eating grape.
For your grape collection, Moon Drops is especially interesting if you’re looking for unusual-looking seedless varieties.
