○ Latin name: Vitis vinifera ○ Dosage: 250 mg per capsule Vitis vinifera, commonly known as a vine, is a woody climbing plant belonging to the Vitaceae family. It is native to Europe and western Asia, but is now grown around the world for its fruit, grapes, which are used to produce wine, grape juice and other food products. . The vine is a perennial plant that can live for several decades. It grows thanks to woody stems called vine shoots, which can reach several meters in length. The leaves are alternate, palmate and lobed, and the flowers are small and green, grouped in clusters. The grape is a fleshy berry of spherical or oval shape, which can be of different colors depending on the variety, from white to black through red or pink. The skin is thin and covers a juicy and sweet pulp, which contains seeds. ֍ The vine has been known to be used in wine production for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence shows that the cultivation of vines for wine production dates back over 7,000 years in the Caucasus region. Since then, the cultivation of the vine has spread all over the world and today thousands of varieties of grapes are cultivated for wine production in different wine regions. However, most of today's wine grapes are descended from a few varieties that originated in the Mediterranean region.
