About Vitis labrusca
Fox Grape (V. labrusca) is a better choice for colder conditions. Eat the red fruit raw, dry for winter use or in pies and preserves. The fruit, best after a frost, has a distinctive musky aroma and taste that is only acceptable to some. Oil is obtained from the seed if large amounts of grapes are available from winemaking.
