Grape Flavour Chemistry

🍇 Grape Flavour Chemistry

Why do red and green grapes taste so different?

This graphic shows how shared chemistry overlaps, and what sets each type apart:

• 🍬 Glucose, fructose, acids and esters build core sweetness and freshness
• 🍏 Green grapes → grassy aldehydes, methoxypyrazines and bright early esters
• 🍷 Red grapes → anthocyanins, tannins, peppery rotundone and glycosides that unlock aroma in fermentation

Ideal for wine educators, distillers, and anyone exploring grape-based spirits.
