Kyoho:
A tetraploid variety hybridized from European and American grapes, it is currently the most produced variety in Taiwan, China. The main production areas are Xinshe Township and Dongshi Town in Taichung County; Zhuolan Township in Miaoli County; Xihu Township and Dacun Township in Changhua County; and Xinyi Township in Nantou County. This variety is a mid-season table grape, with berries reaching 15-16 grams, appearing purple-black. Its disadvantages are that it easily drops flowers and berries, and it does not store or transport well.
Honey Red:
The earliest-maturing variety among European-American tetraploid hybrids, it is currently the main red table grape variety produced in Taiwan, China, with the main production areas in Erlin Township, Puxin Township, and Dacun Township of Changhua County. This variety differentiates flower buds quickly, has large clusters and a high fruit-setting rate, large berries, and high sugar content with a honey aroma. However, its shoots grow vigorously and tend to become leggy, young trees are prone to magnesium and calcium deficiency, and the fruit tends to crack or soften, making it poor for storage and transport.
Italia IP 65:
A yellow-white late-maturing European variety for fresh eating, with the main production areas in Dongshi Town and Shigang Township of Taichung County. The clusters are large, and the fruit is oval, large, and has a muscat flavor, and it stores and transports well. However, when cultivated in Taiwan, China, it is prone to disease and fruit cracking.

Honey Red grape: fragrant aroma, distinctive taste. Bright red color, noble and elegant. Thin skin, high water content, not easy to transport.
Kyoho grape: rich fragrance, taste is sweet with a slight sourness. Purple-black color, imposing bearing. Thick skin, moderate water content, easy to transport.
