Wine grape is characterized by broad, lobed leaves and unique tendrils that aid in its climbing growth habit. The leaves' shape is occasionally likened to that of fig leaves but is notably distinct by the climbing nature of wine grape. These leaves typically grow to about 5-7 inches (12-18 cm) in width, with a heart-shaped base and serrated margins. Wine grape produces clusters of small, round berries that transition from green to purple as they mature. The tendrils, which emerge opposite the leaves, facilitate attachment to structures and support the plant's upward growth.
