| Some folks mentioned "slip skin" grapes, such as Concord. I've not paid much attention until now. What is the buzz with the "slip skin"? Most people do not like it? Any taste difference from regular table grapes? |

| different, yes, and in my opinion better. but why ask us? go buy a quart of concord grapes and form your own opinion. they are in season now. |

| Slip skins are mostly used for juice because the skin is leather like and slips offs the grape with a pinch. Concords as you are aware have a great flavor for juice whereas with table grapes such as red canadice they are seedless and the skin can be eaten. Each has their own purpose. Table grapes can be used for juice and vice versa but each was propagated for their specific purpose. Wine grapes are another option. |
