Grapes are grown in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.

Grapes need to ripen on the vine.

They will not ripen if they are picked too early.

Grapes need sun and rain to grow.

In Canada, they grow mostly in sheltered lakeshore areas.

Table grapes are for eating, baking, and freezing.

Wine grapes are used for making wine.

Harvested wine grapes are pressed to get the grape nectar.

The grape nectar ferments and turns into wine.

Fermentation causes the sugar to turn to alcohol.
