Common Grapevine

<em>Vitis vinifera</em>, commonly known as the common grapevine, is a woody climbing vine belonging to the genus Vitis within the family Vitaceae. This species occupies diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions and has one of the widest cultivated distributions of any plant species. Its range spans Africa, Asia including India, Taiwan, and Yemen, twenty-two European countries, North America, five Oceanian territories, and five South American nations. Common grapevine is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
