I've just discovered a grapevine in my garden...

Its got at least 40 bunches of mini grapes on it. Will I be able to eat them? Make wine with them? I can't believe I've never noticed them before.
I'm in SW London btw, not France or Italy

we've had one a few years, last year it had its first bunch of tiny grapes that were totally edible, if ridiculously small and seedy. this year we've got loads of bunches. give them till later in the year to see if they ripen to purple (ours do) or try some now [sour face smiley]

They're already purple but very tiny, like peas.

yeah that's as big as ours ever got maybe yours'll get bigger since the plant's obviously happy if there's so many.

Hunker. I thought you were'nt here? Maybe you're an apparition...
I just tasted one and they're very sour. I'll keep an eye on them and see if they get any bigger.
