Harvest size ambiguity, fixed.

"In the United States, more than 400,000 tons of grapes are harvested in the northern regions and Pacific Northwest. Washington produces the most, followed by New York. This is about 8% of the total U.S. grape harvest" - is that supposed to say "400,000 tons of Concord grapes"? Otherwise, the "8% of the total" sentence doesn't make sense.

Yes it is. Changed. (although the percentage may be close to 7%) Rmhermen 19:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Preference for non-alcoholic uses.

Is it known why the Concord grape is (traditionally) preferred in juice and jelly/jam uses (and Kosher wine use, for that matter) over some of the other standard wine grapes? -- 19:25, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Concord is a Vitis labrusca variety, not any kind of standard wine grape which a species Vitis vinifera. Rmhermen 03:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Safe to swallow seeds? Healthy to swallow skins?

Does anyone have reliable answers to post to the article or talk page on these two questions which every Concord grape "user" undoubtedly asks hirself or hemself ? If so, please contrib. I need the skinny on the seedy question! (There's also the swallow whole vs. chewing issue.) Parsiferon 02:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
