SEE WHAT YOU'RE DRINKING!

Many wine fans can easily tell the difference between a wine made from Chardonnay and one made from Sauvignon Blanc. However, if you were to give them two bunches of grapes, how many do you think could make the same distinction? Wine is, first and foremost, about grapes, which is why producers (and consumers) will pay huge premiums for certain varieties. Yet consumers often know very little about the grapes that make up their favorite wines. Evidently operating on the principle that a picture is worth a thousand words, Grapepictures.com has decided to tackle this issue by providing pictures of a huge number of grape varieties, from Afus Ali to Zenit. The site also includes photos of vineyards, vine training systems, and even some vine diseases. So pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine, surf over to Grapepictures.com, and see what you're drinking!
