What Are the Eight Most Expensive Grape Varieties?
Grapes are a very common fruit in daily life, delicious and juicy with a sweet taste and rich nutrition, and they are very popular with consumers. With the development of the grape-growing industry, the grape varieties on the market today are extremely abundant, and in people's impression the price of grapes is generally very cheap, but some varieties can sell for sky-high prices due to factors such as variety characteristics. Here are the eight most expensive grapes to share with everyone.
1. Ruby Roman
A grape variety bred by Ishikawa Prefecture after nearly 10 years of crossbreeding. It is bright red in color and tastes extremely sweet. Each grape is about 3 cm in diameter, roughly twice the size of a Kyoho grape, and the price is absurdly expensive. On July 11, 2015, a bunch of "Ruby Roman" grapes weighing about 700 grams fetched a sky-high auction price of 1 million yen (about 51,000 yuan).
2. Golden Finger Grape
A European-American hybrid grape variety, named for its shape resembling a woman's slender finger. This grape has large berries, fairly firm flesh, and a sweet taste with a strong milky flavor and rock-sugar flavor. It is delicious and juicy and can be stored for a long time without spoiling. Its price is also very high, selling for more than 100 yuan per jin.
3. Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is a late-ripening variety, mainly used to make premium wine. This grape has a very thin skin, is easy to peel, and has a pure flavor that is super sweet and juicy. This variety is grown all over the world. However, because the variety is relatively expensive, few people eat it; most of it is grown for winemaking, and its price is about 40 yuan per jin.
4. Shine Muscat
Shine Muscat is a Eurasian variety introduced from Japan, and it is now also grown in our Yunnan region. Of noble origin, it is green in color but very pure and glossy, worthy of being called the beauty among grapes. Because Shine Muscat has high growing-condition requirements and was only introduced to China in recent years, it is rarely heard of domestically, and the price is also very high, at about 96 yuan per jin.
5. Summer Black Grape
Summer Black grape also originated in Japan and is grown in large quantities in China's Yunnan. It is rich in various vitamins C and is suitable for pregnant women to eat. Summer Black grapes are seedless, with delicious flesh, and the price is about 25 yuan per jin.
6. Chardonnay White Grape
This is a world-famous grape variety. The plant is not only cold-tolerant but also heat-tolerant, and it can grow almost anywhere. However, the best Chardonnay grapes are produced in Burgundy, France. At the same time, it is the most popular variety for winemaking and is often used to make champagne and sparkling wine. The price is about 24-60 euros per jin.
7. Sapphire Grape
It is called the "Tears of Moonlight" and is a grape variety with high nutritional value, as well as a noble one among grapes. Its retail price on the market is about 40 yuan per jin. It has beautiful flesh and plenty of juice, is seedless with no pit, the skin is tasty too, and the flesh stores well without spoiling easily.
8. Pinot Noir Grape
It belongs to the Eurasian species and is one of the most popular grapes in the world. The berries are small, with a 100-berry weight of 145 grams, purple-black, round, uniform, and juicy. The sugar content is 173 grams per liter, and the juice yield is 74%. Pinot Noir is the precious queen of red grapes and can make the world's most unforgettable and unique red wine. Therefore, its price is also relatively high, at about 60-80 yuan per jin.
