Grapes are the fruit of love and joy, as our ancestors believed. There are legends about its qualities and significance for the human body. For each variety, choose a place and soil for planting. They simply enjoy its appearance, and the taste makes you forget about many things. Bunches of grapes are used for winemaking, juices and other interesting products. For example, it is added dried to baked goods. Competent doctors and specialists declare its beneficial properties. Cardiologists always recommend eating grapes, both fresh and dried. Since it helps to strengthen the heart muscle.
For every specialist in grape products, the variety and taste are important. Therefore, the top grape varieties are determined annually.

The beneficial properties of grapes are declared by competent doctors and specialists.

Why is it done every year

The fact is that winegrowers are engaged in the grafting and breeding of new varieties every year. After three years, the first crop appears, and a specialist in this field thinks about whether or not he can put it up for sale. A few more years pass, and then a new variety sets out to conquer world markets. Only now can one judge the quality and capabilities of the new grapes.
If a person has planted a vineyard for himself, and not to conquer the world, but the owner of a large and profitable production liked his product of grafting, then there is a price issue. The future fate of the new variety will depend on the owner's desire.
When putting your grape project to the court of breeders, it is necessary to take into account all those qualities that are appreciated. The selection is quite tough and principled. If a new variety impresses with its taste, but one bush is not able to give birth to many bunches, then here it is a minus to the creator, and the variety loses to others.
What selection parameters are used to select the best ten of the year:

Grape growers every year are engaged in the grafting and breeding of new species

It is desirable that the variety be successful in all senses and methods of its preparation and use:

Preparation of the planting site and planting material

Before planting, the vine must be soaked for 24 hours in room purified water. Immediately before planting, the root and shoots are slightly trimmed, into three buds. Side layers are also removed, if any.A hole is dug in the ground, 100 cm deep and at least 80 cm wide. Do not dig holes closer than one and a half meters. To avoid excess moisture, it is advisable to make drainage. For this, stones or bricks are placed on the bottom.

On top of the drainage, you need to pour a composition that will saturate the soil with useful substances:

Component name	Quantity	Peculiarities
Chicken droppings or dung	20-25 l	You cannot use fresh organic matter, it will lead to the death of the plant. This fertilizer saturates the soil well with nitrogen.

Spray the plant with fungicides and insecticides to prevent pests and diseases.

Tip # 3. So that the water does not stagnate, air flows to the roots, an earthen crust does not form, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil.

Pruning and warming vines

Pruning should be done in the autumn. All young green shoots should be trimmed. Also dry, damaged, thin. Broken or unripe. Thus, the bush is lightened. Even if the grape variety is frost-resistant, it is advisable to insulate it. It is not known what winter awaits you, and not a single plant can withstand 30 degrees of frost.

Mulch the soil near the plant, press the branches to the ground and cover with insulation. You can use simple plastic wrap, it will create a greenhouse effect. The best material is spruce branches. If the non-frost-resistant grape variety is not insulated in the fall, then the plant will freeze over the winter.
