What is Grape juice?
'''Grape juice''' comes from crushing and blending [[grape]]s into [[liquid]] form. [[Sugar]]s in grape juice allow it to be used for a sweetener. In [[North America]], the most common grape juice is purple. The juice is made from [[Concord grape]]. White grape juice is made from Niagara grapes. In [[California]], Sultana grapes are sometimes used from the [[raisin]] or table grape to produce white juice.<ref>{{cite web|title=Thompson Seedless Grape Juice|publisher=Sweetwater Cellars|url=http://sweetwatercellars.com/thompsonseedless.html|access-date=May 19, 2021|archive-date=March 25, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325155101/http://sweetwatercellars.com/thompsonseedless.html|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref> Grape juice from [[concentrate]] means that excess water from the grapes was removed. This makes grape juice more concentrated. This allows grape juice to be compressed and frozen. It makes the packaging and transport easier. [[Water]] is then added to the juice before being sold.<ref>{{cite web|title=What Does Orange Juice from Concentrate Mean|publisher=BBC Science Focus Magazine|url=https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/what-does-orange-juice-from-concentrate-mean|access-date=May 19, 2021}}</ref> A major brand of [[United States|American]] grape juice, Welch's, is made from Concord grapes, using an entire grape (pulp, skin and seeds).
