Commercial table grape varieties are selected for seedlessness, berry size, Brix content (≥16° minimum for export grade), colour, shelf-life, and disease resistance.

Table grapes and wine grapes are distinct commercial categories with different variety requirements, production practices, and buyer profiles. Table grapes are selected for seedlessness (Thompson Seedless/Crimson/Arra), large berry size (≥18 mm diameter for Class I), Brix ≥16°, uniform bunch weight (300–500 g per bunch), firm texture for transit, and visual appeal. Wine grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz) are selected for sugar/acid balance, skin phenolics, and aromatic character. Wholesale buyers in the fresh produce trade source table grapes; wineries source wine grapes through entirely separate agricultural supply chains. IQF frozen grapes (seedless Thompson and Crimson) represent a growing third category primarily used by smoothie manufacturers and food service.
